'Lick Your Own A**': Anurag Kashyap SLAMS Reports Claiming He Has Quit Filmmaking, Says He Is 'Busier Than Shah Rukh Khan'

Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap, in the wee hours of Friday, lashed out at rumours doing the rounds that he has quit filmmaking after moving out of Mumbai. He claimed that he is "busier than Shah Rukh Khan" at the moment and that his schedule is packed till 2028.

Kashyap took to his X handle and wrote, "I have relocated cities. I have not left filmmaking. For all the people who think I am frustrated and gone, I am here and I am busier than shah rukh khan (I have to be, I don’t make as much money) (sic)."

"I don’t have dates until 2028. I have five directorials hopefully coming out this year or may be three now and two early next year. I have the longest IMDB and I am so employed that I say no to 3 projects a day. So pls go suck your own c@&₹ or if you are flexible enough lick your own a&& (sic)," he concluded, on a rather abusive note.

It was in March this year when Kashyap had announced that he has moved out of Mumabi already, and while he has not disclosed the new city, reports suggested that he has found his new home in Bengaluru.

Announcing his decision to move out Mumbai and quit Bollywood, the Kashyap said that the Hindi film industry was "too toxic" and that Hindi filmmakers were now only chasing box office numbers.

"I’ve left Mumbai. I want to stay away from film people. The industry has become too toxic. Everyone is chasing unrealistic targets, trying to make the next Rs 500 or Rs 800 crore film. The creative atmosphere is gone," the Dev D filmmaker had said.

Earlier, he had also hinted about his plan to move to the South film industry after parting ways with Bollywood. "I am going to the South. I want to go where there is stimulation. Otherwise, I will die as an old man. I am so disappointed and disgusted by my own industry. I am disgusted by the mindset," he had said in December.
