Anurag Kashyap defends Taapsee Pannu

Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap defended his 'Manmarziyaan' lead actress Taapsee Pannu in a Twitter spat with actress Kangana Ranaut's sister Rangoli Chandel, who asked him to "back off".

Anurag came out in support of Taapsee after Rangoli called the actress a "sasti (cheap) copy". Taapsee had tweeted about the trailer of 'Judgmental Hai Kya,' saying: "This is so cool! Always had high expectations out of this one and this looks so worth it! 'Judgmental Hai Kya'." Rangoli replied: "Kuch log Kangana ko copy kar ke he apni dukaan chalate hain (Some people run their shop by copying Kangana), magar (but) please note, they never acknowledge her, not even a mention of her name in praising the trailer. Last, I heard Taapseeji said Kangana needs a double filter and Taapseeji you need to stop being a sasti copy." To this, Kashyap said it was "really desperate" of Rangoli.

"Come on Rangoli.. this is going too far. This is really, really desperate. I really don't know what to say to this.
