Anurag Kashyap stirred a hornet’s nest with a strongly worded post criticising Anant Mahadevan’s Phule, which faced censor troubles after certain Brahmin factions objected to their community’s portrayal in the yet-to-be-released film. He recounted how, during the censor screening of Dhadak 2, the makers were told that "Modi (Prime Minister Narendra Modi) said the caste system is now finished in India." and then went on to say that if caste never existed, then why are there Brahmins (protesting against the film). In response to Kashyap’s post, a netizen wrote: "Brahmins tumhare baap hain. Jitna tumhari unse sulgegi, utna tumhari sulgaayenge." ("Brahmins are your fathers. The more you mess with them, the more you’ll get burnt.") Kashyap fired back with:

"Brahmin pe main mootoonga... koi problem?" ("I’ll urinate on Brahmins... any problem?"). His comment sparked quite a vitriolic outrage from some netizens, a few of whom resorted to abuses. Anurag Kashyap Slams Netflix India’s Creative Failures While Praising ‘Adolescence’, Calls Pratik Gandhi’s Upcoming Series ‘Saare Jahan Se Achha’ as ‘Half-Baked’.
