Acclaimed filmmaker Anurag Kashyap has landed in controversy over his alleged casteist remarks against the Brahmin community, prompting multiple complaints and a heated backlash on social media. A fresh complaint was filed against him in Indore on Saturday, accusing him of hurting religious and social sentiments.

Director Ananth Mahadevan has clarified recent reports surrounding the release of his film Phule, based on the lives of social reformers Jyotirao and Savitribai Phule. In a statement given to news agency PTI, Mahadevan explained that the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) had only suggested "amendments" and not cuts to the film, as earlier speculated. He also addressed the controversy surrounding the film's delayed release, which was largely influenced by protests from the Brahmin community.
