Let us tell you that Kamakhya Narayan Singh posted his video, which was accompanied by a message: "Dear Anurag Sir, the issue is not what is shown in the film The Kerala Story 2. Khichdi, beef or something else. The real question is of desire and pressure. Even Khichdi cannot be forced against someone's will. Therefore, if a film raises the issue of forced change or pressure, calling it hate-mongering is mindless dishonesty. Your lies are creative freedom and our truth is propaganda. The debate should be based on facts and data, not on shutting down discussions by labelling them as 'nonsense, boot***'."

Dear Anurag sir,

मुद्दा ये नहीं है कि फिल्म में क्या दिखाया गया- खिचड़ी, बीफ या कुछ और।असल सवाल है consent और coercion।

किसी की मर्जी के खिलाफ तो खिचड़ी भी नहीं खिलाई जा सकती, तो अगर कोई फिल्म जबरन बदलाव या दबाव की बात उठाती है, तो उसे नफरत फैलाना कह देना intellectual… pic.twitter.com/1bIIaYyA7I

Kamakhya Narayan Singh targeted Anurag Kashyap

In a video shared on social media, Kamakhya Narayan Singh said, "Anurag Kashyap said that no one would even feed anyone such khichdi. I completely agree. No one would even feed anyone such laddus, but unfortunately, in our society, innocent daughters are being fed beef to convert their religion. This is a crime. The problem is that Anurag Kashyap has become mentally weak. He has a problem with everything. He has a problem with Brahmins, he has a problem with Netflix, he has a problem with the film industry. This man has a problem with everything. He made a film, *The Girl in Yellow Boots*. In it, he imagined an inappropriate relationship between a father and daughter. This is unthinkable in a civilized society. This man has become mentally weak, and society has stopped taking him seriously. For the past several years, all his films have been flops. I pray to God to give him wisdom. As for Kerala Story 2, it The film is based on true events. The trailer is being well received in the community. Thank you."
