Filmmaker and actor Anurag Kashyap has once again found himself embroiled in a major controversy. On Friday (April 18), a complaint was filed against him for allegedly making a derogatory and casteist remark about the Brahmin community. The complainant, Advocate Ashutosh Dubey, took to X (previously Twitter) to share that he has taken legal action against Anurag Kashyap for his remarks. I have officially submitted a complaint to @MumbaiPolice seeking registration of an FIR against @anuragkashyap72 for his derogatory and casteist remark against the Brahmin community. Such hate speech cannot be tolerated in a civil society. The law must take its course."

While replying to one of the comments under his post, he wrote, "Brahmin pe main mootoonga... koi problem?"
