Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap received a WhatsApp message from the President of All India Cine Workers Association, Gouraksha Dhotrea, a BJP supporter, urging Kashyap to join the "I will vote for Narendra Modi" campaign. 3 days after receiving the message, the Manmarziyaan director shared its garb on social media.
While sharing the picture of the message, Anurag wrote, “Had gotten this three days back. Self explanatory.” The message read, "A humble request if you can send an email saying I will vote for Narendra Modi, at the below-given email. It shall be great. Just mention your name and creative designation in that below your message iwillvoteformodi@gmail.com."
"We are getting maximum number of people to digitally get 1,000-plus people from film industry in this campaign to answer the artistes... from the film industry (who say) that we will not vote for Modi. If you know a few creative people from the film industry who are Modi followers, kindly forward this message to them,” the message read further.
On being asked about the campaign, Dhotre told IANS: "I am the President of All India Cine Workers Association, an independent body. I believe in the ideology of BJP and yes, I am urging everyone in the film industry to vote for Modiji because I believe that he is the only leader that we need in our country." He further added, "Hundreds of actors started their campaign against Modiji. They are telling people not to vote BJP. why should we sit silently? We also then should be telling people to vote for him."
