Anurag Kashyap weighs in on nepotism debate: ‘First ask which actor, director is worst behaved, made supporting cast leave films’

Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap shared his take on the insider-outsider and nepotism debate that has gripped Bollywood. In a series of tweets written in Hindi, he drew attention to the fact that the film industry is not made up of only actors but a large number of set workers as well. Insiders or outsiders, the day these people learn to give the artistes, workers, spotboys and others working on a set the same respect, we can have a conversation with them, whether it is about nepotism or favouritism.” “First, let us ask these people working on the sets which actor or director is the most badly-behaved or the mention of which actor puts them off working on the film altogether. Anurag said that a film was made with the contribution of more than a 100 people, yet it was always the one who benefitted the most who would raise the issue of injustice. Anurag’s comments come after Kangana claimed in a recent interview that a ‘movie mafia’ exists that actively works to sabotage the careers of outsiders who did not believe in sucking up to the heavyweights of the film industry.
