Anurag Kashyap Labels 90% Of  Feminist Filmmakers As Frauds, Says 'They Are All Posturing...'
Anurag Kashyap opened up about feminist and socialist filmmakers, claiming that 90% of them are fraud.

Anurag Kashyap, a maverick of modern Indian cinema, has redefined the boundaries of storytelling with his unique directorial vision and relentless pursuit of authenticity. From Gangs Of Wasseypur to Sacred Games, the film-maker has often found himself to be the topic of discussion, especially for his controversial opinions. Maintaining that trajectory, he recently called 90% of feminist film-maker, fraud.

He addressed the topic during an event in Kolkata. The film-maker stated, “I firmly believe that every filmmaker should have the right to make every kind of film. I know most filmmakers personally, even the most problematic ones. The commercial filmmakers, the people behind films like KGF and Salaar, are of two kinds. There are the opportunists, and those who are very honest about only wanting to make money and make hit films.”

He continued, “But the filmmakers who seem to be feminists, socialists, revolutionaries… Let me tell you that 90% of them are frauds. They’re all posturing. After so many years of trying to put together so many independent filmmakers, I’ve realised that independent filmmakers are the worst. Because all they’re doing is pulling each other down and calling each other names. What is the difference between the so-called intelligent people and the so-called fools? The fools are united. The ‘intelligent’ people are busy pulling each other down.”

Meanwhile, on the work front, Anurag’s last directorial venture was Kennedy, headlined by Sunny Leone and Rahul Bhat. It was selected as the closing film for the 14th iteration of the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne (IFFM). The film was screened at the closing night in Melbourne on August 20 last year. Earlier, the film was also screened at the Cannes Film Festival, where it received a seven-minute standing ovation from the audience. Kennedy follows the life of a long-thought-to-be-dead, insomniac ex-cop who finds himself entangled in a corrupt system while seeking redemption. With its gripping narrative and powerful performances, the film promises to be an unforgettable cinematic experience for audiences.
