Anubhav Sinha says he had enough, 'resigns' from Bollywood

Anubhav, known for hard-hitting movies such as Article 15 and Thappad, on Tuesday put out a tweet that read, "Enough! I hereby resign from Bollywood. Whatever the f**k that means (sic)."

He also changed his name on Twitter. It now reads, "Anubhav Sinha (Not Bollywood)."

Minutes after that, Sudhir Mishra also posted a similar note, questioning the definition of the term "Bollywood."

Naming acclaimed writers/directors like Satyajit Ray and Raj Kapoor, Mishra added he wanted to be part of the cinema inspired by them. "That's where I'll always be," he noted. Mehta also jumped in to contribute, saying that Bollywood "never existed in the first place."

In separate tweets, the filmmakers clarified they aren't quitting work, and will continue to work for the "Hindi film industry."

Well, these comments aren't a bolt from the blue.

The film fraternity's infighting was triggered and issues of nepotism and favoritism reignited after actor Sushant Singh Rajput's tragic demise last month.

Earlier, actor Raveena Tandon had said that "mean girl groups" and "camps" do exist in Bollywood.

In another instance, director Abhinav Kashyap had accused Salman Khan of bullying him and sabotaging his career.

Recently, actor Kangana Ranaut, while raising questions about the industry's nepotism, attacked her colleagues Swara Bhasker and Taapsee Pannu, calling them "needy outsiders" and "B-grade actresses."

Not the ones to silently take such attacks, both of them hit back at Kangana. "I refuse to take advantage of someone's death for personal vendetta and I refuse to make mockery out of the industry," Taapsee said.
