Anurag Kashyap Had Cut-off Ties With Chabbra Long Before

Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap has distanced himself from his “Gangs of Wasseypur” casting director Mukesh Chhabra, who has been accused of sexual harassment, saying he had “cut-off” ties with him way back. Kashyap’s response came after a Twitter user tagged him in a post saying the filmmaker had shared with her that he is planning to reveal the stories of Chhabra’s “misogynistic ways”. “So @anuragkashyap72 told me recently that if no one speaks out about @CastingChhabra and his misogynistic ways he will. He also said he has cut off all ties with Chhabra.

I am holding you to this @anuragkashyap72. Waiting. #metoo #timesup,” the user wrote. In his reply, Kashyap said he does not have any evidence of misconduct against the casting director. “I neither have any #MeToo stories nor evidence about mukesh Chhabra. I cut-off ties with him for lot’s of reasons related to casting and reasons that I don’t feel the need to put out in public domain,” he tweeted.
