Anurag Kashyap’s daughter Aaliyah Kashyap was disappointed after he promoted Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Animal: “You agreed it was a horrible film”

Bollywood director Anurag Kashyap uploaded a picture with filmmaker Sandeep Reddy Vanga complimenting his film Animal to which his daughter Aaliyah gets disheartened.

Aaliyah Kashyap recently invited her dad director Anurag Kashyap on her podcast where she brought up the topic of his picture with Vanga expressing how she disliked the Ranbir Kapoor starrer Animal.

On her podcast, Young, Dumb & Anxious she shared how she was not happy bout the post. She said, “The caption of the post where you were promoting the guy which I was not very happy about.” She remembered being spiteful to Anurag about the ‘horrible, misogynistic’ film and how the director agreed with her. “I actually saw Animal and called you immediately and ranted, ‘What a horrible, misogynistic movie it is and how much I hated it,’ and you agreed with me. A week later when I opened Instagram, I saw a post from my father, promoting a man I was b*tching about.”

Anurag then answered to his daughter’s disappointment sharing that, like Vanga he was also a cancelled filmmaker at the height of his career and that he was aware of how lonely it can get. “You were much younger when your father was cancelled for his films. After Dev D came out, I was cancelled by a lot of people. I was the untouchable guy. People said, ‘What a misogynistic film!’ Gangs Of Wasseypur was also met with a similar fate even though my characters had agencies. I have often seen people isolating someone, attacking someone and that is not the way to be,” he said.

He further continued, “I don’t understand social media, but before social media, there were blogs, and I was a blogger. I used to do the same thing against the whole industry because I used to think that the whole industry was my enemy. I was very hard and angry and everything. I would talk about Karan Johar and other people in the industry. I remember, post Dabangg, I got into a fight with Salman Khan. I mean, I started ranting against him. I had a lot of anger with me. I also got isolated without people understanding. Over the period of time, people started seeing things differently and I don’t like cancel culture at all. If I don’t like a film, I will ask the person my questions directly, if I know them.”

Anurag spoke about meeting Vanga and liking him. He said, “I met him, I like him. I like the guy. I’ve had questions of my own and I wanted to talk to him about his film. I invited him and had a five-hour conversation and I like the guy,” he shared.

Anurag will soon make his Malayalam debut as an actor in Aashiq Abu’s upcoming Rife Club. His new movie Kennedy starring Rahul Bhat and Sunny Leone is also up for release.
