‘Stupid …’ Now the war broke out between Ekta Kapoor-Anurag Kashyap, ‘mother-in-law drama’ became the reason
Ekta Kapoor, Anurag Kashyap.
A new and strong controversy has once again arisen in Bollywood over content. This time the root of the debate has been made Netflix and its show ‘Sacred Games’, which has been made face to face with two big faces of Bollywood. Recently, Anurag Kashyap had targeted Netflix CEO Ted Sardos over his views and called him a fool, saying that Netflix should have started in India with ‘mother -in -law Drama’ in India. Director Anurag Kashyap and TV queen Ekta Kapoor have come face to face on this matter. Ekta Kapoor has openly opposed this statement of Anurag Kashyap.
What is the dispute?
The dispute began with a statement by Ted Sarandos, CEO of Netflix. Ted shared his views on his debut in India during a conversation with Nikhil Kamath’s WTF Podcast. In which he said that it was probably his strategic mistake to start with ‘Sacred Games’ in India in 2018. He also said that if he had got a chance again, he would start Netflix with more ‘popular’ content. Anurag Kashyap criticized him on this statement of Sarandos.
What did Anurag Kashyap say?
Anurag Kashyap expressed displeasure over the statement of Netflix CEO. Describing Ted on Instagram, he said that he should have started with mother-in-law drama. Kashyap’s comment was associated with the recent deal between Ekta Kapoor and Netflix, in which shows are being made in partnership with Balaji Telefilms. Anurag wrote- ‘Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos feels that it was not the right decision to start with’ Sacred Games’ in India. Perhaps a more popular show worked more. If he gets a chance again, he would start with the mother-in-law Serial and is doing the same now. I already know that technology with technology is stupid in terms of storytelling, but Ted Sarandos itself is the definition of stupidity, it is now discovered. Now everything is understood.
Ekta Kapoor targeted Anurag Kashyap
Ekta Kapoor did not remain silent on this stance of Anurag. He reacted sharply to his Instagram story and called Anurag ‘classist’ and ‘stupid’. Ekta says that in an attempt to make herself smart, Anurag is degrading the content format who has created an emotional relationship with crores of Indian audiences. Ekta further wrote that those who consider family stories and mother-in-law’s drama as ‘low class’, in fact they want to make themselves look better than others. He advised Anurag to show some ‘glory’ and ‘self-awareness’, as every content has its own place and audience.
