Anurag Kashyap has critiqued heavily about Yash Raj Films’ head honcho Aditya Chopra for the failure of the production house’s recent films. Multiple recent releases by YRF including Jayeshbhai Jordaar starring Ranveer Singh, Samrat Prithviraj featuring Akshay Kumar, and Ranbir Kapoor starrer Shamshera have tanked at the box office. However, they delivered blockbuster films in 2023 with Shah Rukh Khan's Pathaan and Salman Khan's Tiger 3. 

Filmmaker Kashyap earlier stated that Aditya needs to empower and trust those he has hired and stop dictating them.

In an interview with Galatta Plus, Kashyap said that the industry is such that people will continue walking in from all walks of life. He mentioned that the cinema here is largely controlled by people who have grown up in trial rooms. "They have not lived life. So, they’re referencing is based on cinema. What is not on screen can’t be cinema to them. The biggest problem with YRF is the trial room effect,” he said. 

Taking a dig at YRF's films, he compared their films to Hollywood films and said while they wanted to make a film like Pirates of the Caribbean, they instead delivered Thugs Of Hindostan. Similarly, he said that Shamshera was delivered when they tried to make a film like Mad Max: Fury Road.

Further, he talked about how things work at YRF and said, "You have one person sitting in a cave, who doesn’t know the world outside, dictating how everybody should be making their films and telling them what to do. Obviously you’re digging your own grave… You have to empower people, you can’t dictate terms. That time is passe now."

Anurag also mentioned that if Aditya Chopra has hired people, he should stop controlling or dictating to them and empower them. "Sit in your office, hire good people if you trust them, and let them make their film. Which is the mistake he makes. He doesn’t let them (be),” he concluded. 

Meanwhile, Anurag Kashyap was last seen in Bad Cop with Gulshan Devaiah in lead roles. Th e show was a crime thriller directed by Aditya Datt.
