Over the years, many might have observed that film maker Anurag Kashyap and controversies go hand-in-hand. The filmmaker has become a part of several controversies when it comes to his films or his general opinion on anything. Not the one to keep mum on being trolled on twitter, Anurag Kashyap hits back and how!

Anurag Kashyap hits back at PM Narendra Modi again after being trolled on twitter

It all started when Hollywood star Meryl Streep gave an emotionally powerful speech at the ‘Golden Globes 2017’ stage where she lashed out at the President-elect Donald Trump. Soon after her speech, on one side Bollywood praised the actress while on the other side twitteratis called out Bollywood celebs for not standing up against bullies. Keeping this in mind, Anurag Kashyap said, "We in our film industry don't even need to give a speech like Meryl Streep if we just start standing up with those who actually speak up."

Cut to this week, 16-year-old Dangal star Zaira Wasim was bullied online for meeting Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti. Many celebs came forward in support of the teen actress. But, the internet never forgets. Twitterati was quick to call out Aamir Khan, Anurag Kashyap and others to take a stand on Zaira Wasim's case. As soon as Anurag responded to this question, all hell broke loose.

Not only Anurag Kashyap chooses to use Zahira
Wasim's harassment at the hands of Islamists, to his advantage, he fails to condemn it too.

This escalated quickly and Anurag Kashyap ended up calling out Prime Minister Narendra Modi. For those who don't know, Narendra Modi's official twitter account follows a lot of troll pages. So, Anurag once again was back trolling the PM who he calls the boss and calls the trolls the bhakts of Modi.
