Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap has distanced himself from his Gangs of Wasseypur casting director Mukesh Chhabra, who has been accused of sexual harassment.
The filmmaker said that he had 'cut-off' ties with him long time back.
Anurag 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 Mukesh 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. Im holding you to this @anuragkashyap72 . Waiting. #metoo #timesup," the user wrote.
In his reply, the Manmarziyaan director said that he does not have any evidence of misconduct against the well-known 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.
Anurag has recently been under fire for inaction in Vikas Bahl sexual harassment case.
Last year, a woman employee at Phantom Films, which had Vikas as one of the partners, along side Anurag, Vikramaditya Motwane and Madhu Mantena, had levelled allegations of molestation against the Queen director, who she said behaved inappropriately during a trip to Goa.
In a recent article in Huffpost India, the woman has reiterated the allegations, sharing further details about the incident.
According to the report, in October 2015, the woman reached out to Anurag Kashyap and detailed her experience, but no action was taken while Vikas continued to harass her until she finally quit the company.
Anurag Kashyap later said that he was 'ill-advised' in the matter by his lawyers.
Apart from Wasseypur series, Mukesh Chhabra has done casting for Anurag Kashyap's Ugly and Bombay Velvet.
In a latest report published on Mid-Day, four aspiring actors have accused Mukesh and another casting director Vicky Sidana of harassing them during audition process.
However, Mukesh has denied the "unsubstantiated wild anonymous allegations" in a letter posted on his Twitter handle.
"It is very unfortunate that years of hard work and building is been muzzled with a series of unsubstantiated wild anonymous allegations. To put it into perspective, we have a ICC committee put into the place for years and we could have appreciated if the complaint received could have been forwarded to the said committee for probe and investigation," the letter read.
"This is a clearly motivated piece and we deny any incident as alleged took place," it further read.
Mukesh Chabbra is known for working on films such as Dangal, Rockstar, Shahid and Kai Po Che! among others.
