Anurag Kashyap issues clarification about himself post leaving Mumbai

Anurag I have moved to a new city, but I want to clarify that I have not abandoned filmmaking. To those who believe I am frustrated and have disappeared, I assure you that I am very much present and busier than ever—perhaps even more than Shah Rukh Khan, though I must work harder since my earnings are not as high (laughing face emoji). My schedule is fully booked until 2028. This year, I anticipate the release of five directorial projects, although it may now be three this year and two early next year. My IMDb credits are extensive, and I am so engaged in my work that I decline three project offers daily. Therefore, I suggest you focus on your own matters or, if you are able, take a moment for self-reflection.

Internet reacts to Anurag's tweet

Reacting In response to the post, an individual commented, "Please don't repeat this. You are aware of what this place has cost you. Avoid making the same errors. We want to see quality films from you. Concentrate on that. Take care!" Another tweet stated, "You have nothing to prove, Sir. I hold a great deal of love and respect for you, but are you becoming like RGV?" A user on X remarked, "You are excelling in the South film industry, particularly with Maharaja films."
