Anurag Kashyap has issued a public apology following backlash over his controversial comment about the Brahmin community. The remark, made in response to a social media user, sparked outrage, especially amid the ongoing controversy surrounding his film Phule. On Instagram, Kashyap clarified his intent and asked that any anger be directed solely at him, not his family.

He also emphasized that no action or speech should lead to threats against loved ones, offering an apology for the anger stirred by his words. Kashyap expressed regret over the situation but refused to take back his statement. The controversy intensified after Phule, which portrays social reformers Jyotiba and Savitribai Phule, faced objections from Brahmin groups, leading to a delay in the film's release.
