Payal Ghosh had lodged a written complaint against filmmaker Anurag Kashyap under various sections of the IPC at Versova police station. In retaliation to Payal Ghosh sexual harassment complaint, Anurag Kashyap also registered a case at the Oshiwara police station in Mumbai. The director has outrightly denied these allegations. Payal, who has worked in South films like ‘Prayanam’,’ Mr. Rascal’, and ‘Oosaravelli’, accused Kashyap of sexual misconduct. She alleged that the 'Choked' director tried to force himself on her. Several tinsel town celebs including Taapsee Pannu, Huma Qureshi, Hansal Mehta came out in Kashyap's support. Kangana Ranaut, who was recently engaged in a war of words with the 'Black Friday' director, extended support to Payal Ghosh and demanded Kashyap's arrest.
