Anurag Kashyap found himself in the middle of a controversy once again after he was slammed by netizens on Twitter for praising 'the most regressiv movie' Bakasuran.
Sharing a few posters of the film, Anurag shared on twitter, '#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…'

As soon as he shared the post, comments flooded in from all directions. While one user wrote, 'Promoting a pathetic movie just because Natraj is your friend?? unexpected sir', another one added, 'Seriously Anurag?! How could one celebrate the likes of Vetrimaran, Pa.Ranjith, and also this patriarchal casteist movie.' A user also commented, '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?? (sic)'
"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.
Bakasuran stars Selvaraghavan, Tharakshi, Natarajan Subramaniam (Natty) and Gunanithi among others. The film has also been produced by Mohan G. The film was released on Friday. The music for the film has been composed by Sam C S.
