Filmmaker Ashoke Pandit reacted to Anurag’s post calling the comment photoshopped. He also said that the post was probably created by an “Urban Naxal”.

Pandit’s comment lead to a Twitter spat between both filmmakers. Anurag Kashyap called Pandit a “moron” and said the comment was made from an Instagram handle, not Twitter.

Search for it on Instagram not on twitter you moron .. this is my daughter getting a threat asshole ..

Pandit rebuked Kashyap for his language and asked him to file a complaint than asking the prime minister for help.

In another tweet, Pandit posted a screenshot of a personal message he received from Kashyap, accusing him of sending him “drunken texts”.

Kashyap has been vocal about his criticism of the Modi government and the prime minister’s many followers on Twitter.
