Anurag Kashyap is one of the most loved and celebrated filmmakers in the country. He has delivered classic Bollywood movies. Anurag's films are raw, authentic and often carry a gripping storyline that keeps the audience hooked to their seats.

Apart from being a fine filmmaker, it is his bold, outspoken nature that often captures the attention of his fans and followers. Yes, in a recent interview, the filmmaker opened up about the existing boycott culture in Bollywood and elsewhere.

Anurag stressed how we are 'living' and 'breathing' this culture and it is not very healthy. Talking-to Indian Express, Kashyap, said, "Today if I have to make a Black Friday or a Gangs of Wasseypur, I don’t think I can make it. Because I have seen it, I have tried to, I have written a lot of scripts but there are no takers. There are no takers for a lot of films which are remotely about politics or religion."

"If there are no brave voices to back even braver vision, how does one make films in the country? “Those things people are scared about. There are just no takers, so how do you make them? How do you make a film if you have to say something in today’s day and age?” he added.

Both Laal Singh Chaddha and Raksha Bandhan are facing massive backlash from the people lately.

Talking about the same, Anurag said, "We are living in very strange times. Two years later, Sushant Singh Rajput still trends everyday. These are strange times, where everything is to be boycotted. It is not just one side, it is happening across. Everyone is being boycotted: political parties, Indian cricket team, everyone. This country now has a boycott culture. if you are not being boycotted, then you don’t matter."
