Abhay Deol was dissatisfied with Anurag Kashyap's direction

In the interview, Anurag Kashyap said that if Abhay wants to call him toxic, then it is his side of the story and he is fine with it. He said that the truth can't be spoken as if he will speak the truth, he won't be able to show his face. Anurag further added saying that there is too much truth in there that Abhay will also not have the courage to talk about and he will not talk about it because it will make him look like shit.

Anurag directed Dev D in 2009, which was a film about a tragic and possessive lover set in Punjab and Delhi. Abhay played the role of a flawed and chauvinistic man and received immense praise for his exceptional performance. The film was a hit and the masses loved it.
