In 2025, filmmaker Anurag Kashyap once again made headlines—not for a film release, but for speaking his mind. After announcing his decision to leave Mumbai due to what he called the toxic nature of Bollywood, many thought he might be stepping away from cinema. But Kashyap quickly shut down those assumptions with a viral post.
In his signature honest and cheeky tone, Kashyap wrote on X (formerly Twitter), I’ve relocated cities. I haven’t quit filmmaking. For those assuming I’m frustrated and done—I'm busier than Shah Rukh Khan (I have to be, I don’t earn as much). No dates till 2028. The statement was both a rebuttal and a reminder that his passion for filmmaking remains strong.
Kashyap revealed that he had five directorial projects lined up, with some releasing within the year. His blunt post gained widespread attention, with fans applauding his unfiltered attitude. One user wrote, You be you. Let the noise be noise, while another praised his recent work in the South film industry, especially Maharaja.
Despite the move away from Mumbai, Kashyap stayed deeply involved in cinema. In 2025, he took on an acting role in Dacoit – Ek Prem
