Anurag Kashyap upset over not getting subsidies for his films: BJP

BJP has hit out at filmmaker Anurag Kashyap who recently criticised Modi government over the Citizenship Amendment Act, and said that his anti-CAA diatribe has less to do with the new law and more with the non-clearance of his application for government subsidy for the movies. BJP's IT Cell Chief Amit Malviya said that in 2016, Akhilesh Yadav bankrolled his film 'Masaan' to the extent of 2 crore rupees. But similar requests for 'Mukkabaaz' and 'Sand ki Ankh' have not been approved by the Yogi government.
