The ‘Gangs of Wasseypur’ director is amongst those celebs who doesn’t refrain from criticising the ruling party and its member. Kashyap recently had taken a sabbatical from the Twitter after trolls threatened to harm his daughter.

However, he came back recently to participate in the protest against CAA. “This has gone too far.. can’t stay silent any longer. This government is clearly fascist .. and it makes me angry to see voices that can actually make a difference stay quiet,” wrote the director upon his return to Twitter.
