After supporting ‘Phule’, filmmaker-actor Anurag Kashyap was criticized. Brahmin objections delayed Phule's release for the uninitiated. Kashyap criticized the film's delay, but the community reacted. He apologized to Brahmins in a lengthy social media post. His Hindi statement read, “In a fit of anger, I insulted the entire Brahmin community by overreacting. Many individuals of this community have touched my life and continue to do so. Today, my remarks injured them all. My family suffers. Many intellectuals I respect are upset by my angry speech.” He said, “By saying such things, I ended up diverting attention from the real issue. I truly apologize to the community. I never meant to offend, but I typed something in response to a terrible comment in the heat of the moment.”
