Overview

  • Anurag Kashyap's remark about Brahmins on social media has triggered multiple police complaints in Mumbai, Indore, and Delhi, though no FIRs have been confirmed yet.
  • Kashyap issued an apology on Instagram, clarifying he stands by his words but regrets the threats his family has received, including rape and death threats aimed at his daughter.
  • Union Minister Satish Chandra Dubey and BJP leader Tajinder Bagga condemned Kashyap, demanding his arrest and calling his comments inflammatory and hateful.
  • The controversy coincides with the upcoming release of 'Phule,' a biopic about social reformers Jyotirao and Savitribai Phule, which faced CBFC-mandated cuts after objections from Brahmin groups.
  • Protests and calls for legal action against Kashyap continue as 'Phule' remains scheduled for its April 25 release following compliance with censorship requirements.
