One user wrote, 'I mean he is technically correct..these great films are destroying Bollywood industry,' while another tweeted, 'Does his view really matter, anyway he has to first decide whether tax on paneer affects bollywood or south india movies not forgetting the fact that the last hindi hit drishyam is a remake of south indian movie'.
Speaking with Galatta Plus, Anurag said, 'Films like Kantara and Pushpa give you courage to go out and tell your stories. But KGF 2, however big the success, when you try and emulate that and set a project up, that’s when you start heading towards disaster. That’s the bandwagon that Bollywood destroyed itself on. You have to find films that give you courage.'
