Anurag took his thoughts to Twitter and called Home Minister Amit Shah a 'coward'. He tweeted, "Our Home Minister is a coward. He controls the police, he controls the goons, amps up his own security and has unarmed protestors attacked. Amit Shah's behaviour is cheap and low. History will spit on an animal like him."
3.Anurag Kashyap called Bollywood 'toxic'
Anurag has been vocal about Bollywood, and how difficult it is today for him to make a film like Gulaal or Black Friday or Gangs of Wasseypur.

4.Anurag Kashyap warned politician to stay away from Udta Punjab
Anurag Kashyap and the team of Udta Punjab had a major tussle with CBFC over the 70+ cuts and delay in certification. Anurag advised politicians not to affiliate Udta Punjab with their party agenda. He tweeted, "There is no film more honest than UDTA PUNJAB .. And any person or party opposing it is actually GUILTY of promoting drugs (sic)." He further tweeted, "Please don't colour my fight with any political affiliation because there is none. I request Congress, AAP and other political parties to stay out of my battle. It's my Rights vs the Censorship."
5.Anurag Kashyap challenges health ministry over anti-smoking disclaimers
In 2013, Anurag Kashyap challenged India’s anti-smoking disclaimers. He even filed a petition in the Bombay High Court challenging the Indian health ministry’s mandatory anti-smoking disclaimers that screen with every film and TV show here. After the preview of his film Ugly, Anurag reportedly shared his view on the same with a few journalists. Kashyap said, "I don’t want my audience to get distracted, and my film is not an advertisement hoarding for social service messages.
The Dev D director also said, "I, as a filmmaker, will not take on the charitable stance of ridding society of all its ills. And the health ministry can’t do both: take revenue from the tobacco industry and make it my responsibility to educate people about why they should avoid tobacco."
