Manmarziyaan director Anurag Kashyap, who recently was visiting a doctor's clinic in the city, was snapped by paparazzi. The actor, who was in no mood to get clicked, got miffed with the photographers who were stationed outside the doctor's clinic to click him. Lashing out at shutterbugs, the filmmaker asked, "Tum log ye doctor ke yaha kyu khade ho photo lene ke liye? Tum logo ko kaam nai hai life mein? (Why are standing outside a doctor's clinic? Don't you have any job to do?)."
Responding to Kashyap, when one of the photographers said that this is their job, the Gangs Of Wasseypur filmmaker, insulting them further, said, "Jao jaakar shakal dekho sheeshe mein... log kahi bhi jaa rahe hain, unka photo le rahe hain. Ek baar baithke socho aur pucho apne aap se. (You should take a look at yourself in the mirror. You need to question yourself about the sort of job you are doing?)"
As this did not go down well with the paps, one of them took to the photo-sharing app to post the video, that shows Kashyap'sill behaviour towards media, while his caption read, "A humble request to @anuragkashyap10 on not guiding us on our jobs. Aapko koi Haq nahi banta kisi ke profession pe comment karne ka. Hum apne aap se puch ke hi ye kaam karte hai Aur hum, Aur ye poori #Bollywood industry proud hai hamare kaam se. Get A Life Anurag Kashyap."
On Friday, a journalist too took to the micro-blogging site to share the video, while her tweet read, "Mr. @anuragkashyap72 you have full right to say 'NO' to the photographers but why to say 'Tum log apni shakal dekho sishe me jaakar, ye koi kaam hai? Koi dhang ka kaam nhi hai life me?' I hope you provide them some 'DHANG KA KAAM' 👍"

Even fans were disappointed with Kashyap's reactions and slammed the director. One user wrote: "Media hi zero se hero aur hero ko zero bnati hai , If you are undermining the power of the media, then it means that you are stalking your own feet," while another said, "Press (print, tv and web) should boycott his films. Don’t show any news related to his films. He will come running towards you begging for coverage."

Too much Arrogance . Time has come to show these people their place and best way is Boycott movies and webseries ..
Media should also Boycott him . The same way few years back they did with Amitabh and than Amitabh Bachchan Apologised for his remarks .
