Kamakhya Narayan Singh's Reaction

His comments prompted a sharp rebuttal from the film's director, Kamakhya Narayan Singh, who issued a detailed video statement on X defending both the intent and subject of his project.

Addressing Anurag Kashyap directly, Kamakhya Narayan Singh said, "Anurag Kashyap Ji ne kaha hai ki koi aisa kisiko khichdi bhi nahi khilata. Main ekdum maanta hoon, koi kisiko aise laddoo bhi nahi khila sakta. Par durbhagyavash, humare samaaj mein humari masoom betiyon ko unka dharam parivartan karne ke liye unko beef khilaya ja raha hai, yeh ek crime hai."

He went further, launching a personal critique of the filmmaker. "Problem yeh hai ki Anurag Kashyap Ji mansik roop se durbal ho gaye hain, unko har cheez se dikkat hai. Unko Brahmanon se dikkat hai, unko Netflix se dikkat hai, unko film industry se dikkat hai. Is aadmi ko har cheez se dikkat hai."

Kamakhya Narayan Singh also referenced Anurag Kashyap's earlier film That Girl in Yellow Boots, stating, "Inhone ek film banayi thi That Girl in Yellow Boots, usme inhone kalpana kiya hai ek pita aur putri ke anetik sambandh ko. Ek sabhya samaj mein yeh sochne ke pare hai, par yeh aadmi mansik roop se durbal ho gaya hai aur samaaj ne bhi isko seriously lena chhod diya hai. Inki saari filme pichle kai saalon se flop hai. Main param pita parmeshvar se prarthana karta hoon ki inko sadbudhi de."

Dear Anurag sir,

मुद्दा ये नहीं है कि फिल्म में क्या दिखाया गया- खिचड़ी, बीफ या कुछ और।असल सवाल है consent और coercion।

किसी की मर्जी के खिलाफ तो खिचड़ी भी नहीं खिलाई जा सकती, तो अगर कोई फिल्म जबरन बदलाव या दबाव की बात उठाती है, तो उसे नफरत फैलाना कह देना intellectual… pic.twitter.com/1bIIaYyA7I
