Bollywood filmmaker Anurag Kashyap is known to put his foot in his mouth when it comes to sharing anecdotes about his movies. He often makes the headlines for his ruined relationships with actors like Abhay Deol and Manoj Bajpayee, who have time and again explained that he twists what actually happened. He recently attended the Cannes Film Festival 2023 to screen his movie Kennedy. During an interview he had spoken about how he wanted to cast Ponniyin Selvan 2 actor Chiyaan Vikram as the lead, but the actor never picked up his calls.

Days after the interaction went viral, Vikram himself took to social media and issued a clarification on the matter. He tweeted that after coming to know that Anurag was trying to contact him, he himself contacted the producer and explained to him how he didn’t get any mails or messages from him. The actor further stated that the contact information Anurag had used was old and no longer active which led to the miscommunication between them. He added, “I’m very excited for your film Kennedy and even more so because it has my name.” ALSO READ: Anurag Kashyap’s Daughter Aaliyah Kashyap Gets ENGAGED To Her Boyfriend Shane Gregoire; Emotional Father Says, ‘She Is All Grown Up’
