Anurag Kashyap Faces Brutal BACKLASH From Twitter For Praising 'Patriarchal Casteist Movie' Bakasuran: ‘Your Bar Has Gone So Low’
Anurag Kashyap has once again faced flak from Twitter users for praising ‘most regressive movie’ Bakasuran. Taking to his Twitter handle on Sunday, Anurag shared posters of the film helmed by Mohan G. 

Anurag captioned the post: "#Bakasuran Hearing good word of mouth for this movie in South...Congrats my friend @natty_nataraj & Dir @selvaraghavan." Natarajan Subramaniam commented, “Thank you so so much Anuraag… (folded hands emojis).”

This ultimately enraged people on Twitter and Anurag received backlash for lauding the film. 


A person said, "Promoting a pathetic movie just because Natraj is your friend?? unexpected sir." "Seriously Anurag?! How could one celebrate the likes of Vetrimaran, Pa.Ranjith, and also this patriarchal casteist movie," read a comment. "Promoting a movie that essentially pushes women back to the kitchen and promotes a what were you wearing to provoke men culture? Wow your bar has gone so low now??" tweeted a person.

"Unexpected from you sir...most regressive movie blaming women for sexual offenses... kindly watch it and remove the tweet," said a Twitter user. "Dear Anurag, you are one of the rare quality directors. Kindly don't promote regressive movies just because natty is your friend. He may be a good cinematographer. This movie is regressive," commented another person.

For the unversed, Bakasuran stars Selvaraghavan, Tharakshi, Natarajan Subramaniam (Natty) and Gunanithi among others. Produced by Mohan G, the film was released on Friday and the music has been composed by Sam C S.
