Kashyap and Motwane co-directed 'Sacred Games' Season 1
Kashyap and Motwane have been under fire for their alleged inaction in the sexual harassment allegations against former Phantom Films partner Vikas Bahl by an employee, a charge they both have denied. The production house was dissolved last month after allegations resurfaced against Bahl in the wake of #MeToo movement. The case dates back to an incident that took place in Goa in 2015.
