    Ranvir Shorey And Anurag Kashyap Engage In War Of Words, Former Asks 'Who Are You To Take Control Of The Narrative?'

    Kangana Ranaut seems to have ruffled up quite a few feathers after her explosive interview with a TV channel. The actress, who has been fighting against nepotism, attracted mixed reactions towards herself when she tagged fellow actors Taapsee Pannu and Swara Bhasker as 'B-grade actresses'. Later, she also dragged Richa Chaddha into it and accused them of belittling her struggles. Anurag Kashyap opened up about this and said that he does not know the 'new Kangana'. But looks like that became the starting point of another tussle.

    After Anurag had tweeted, actor Ranvir Shorey had dropped this cryptic tweet that read, "So many independent-film-crusaders have turned mainstream-bollywood-flunkies now. These are the same people who used to rant 24/7 about the “system” for attention before they were given entry into the pearly gates of mainstream Bollywood. #Hypocrisy much?" Anurag Kashyap responded to it almost instantly. Here's what he said:

    Ranvir maintained his stance and did not name anyone during the conversation. However, Anurag was blunt. Ranvir replied, "I always say what I mean, @anuragkashyap72, you know that. And I don’t think what I’ve said lacks any clarity. It pretty much explains everything. As for taking names, that’s beneath me. I’m not trying to sling mud, but just reminding people where they come from."

    Anurag was personal in retorting and said, "So let’s talk . Right here. Whose flunky do you think I am? Dont mix the pain of your past relationship with this debate. I will say everything here .. the correction is needed in this industry like every industry. I operate alone .. bolo ." What Anurag seems to be pointing at is Ranvir's relationship with Pooja Bhatt. Both had been vocal about it and Ranvir had accused Pooja Bhatt's abusive behaviour as their reason for the break-up.

    Ranvir too reacted sharply and wrote, "I didn’t mention you, so why don’t you confess whose flunky you are, if you’re so gutted by what I’ve said. And I don’t understand what you mean by “the pain of my past” nonsense. Don’t try to be my shrink. I assure you, I work even more alone than you!"

    The conversation got uglier with Ranvir asking the director not to carry the mantle of 'independent film crusader' alone and not to belittle other perspectives by asking not to distract or change the narrative. Anurag also named Kangana. Here is the entire conversation:

    It has become a new war altogether!
