Filmmaker and actor Anurag Kashyap has landed in legal trouble after a court in Surat directed police to register a criminal case against him over his alleged remarks about the Brahmin community on social media.
The order was passed on Saturday by the court of Judicial Magistrate First Class A S Jani following a private complaint filed by lawyer and Vishva Hindu Parishad leader Kamlesh Raval. According to reports, the court observed that there appeared to be sufficient grounds to examine whether the filmmaker’s posts could have harmed the reputation of a particular community and contributed to social tension.
As part of the order, the court instructed authorities to register a case under sections related to promoting hostility between groups, intentional insult aimed at disturbing public peace, and circulation of allegedly misleading information.
The complaint was filed by Raval, who belongs to the Brahmin community and alleged that Kashyap’s posts on X contained objectionable comments targeting Brahmins. According to the complaint, the controversy began after the filmmaker reacted to criticism surrounding the trailer launch of the Hindi film Phule in April last year.
The complainant claimed that Kashyap not only posted comments viewed as offensive but also continued making remarks while responding to users who opposed his views online. It was further alleged that the posts insulted the wider Brahmin community and had the potential to create division between social groups.
In the complaint submitted before the court, Raval reportedly argued that public figures like Kashyap hold significant influence because of their work in cinema and entertainment. The complaint stated that actors and filmmakers are widely followed by audiences across age groups, making their public statements highly impactful.
The plea also referred to an older social media post allegedly made by Kashyap in January 2020, where he had criticised the Union government and used terms that the complainant described as objectionable towards Hindus.
Reports further stated that several notices and summons had earlier been issued to the filmmaker in connection with the matter. However, according to the complainant, Kashyap did not respond to them, following which a non-bailable warrant was reportedly issued against him.
As of now, Anurag Kashyap has not publicly reacted to the latest court order.

Filmmaker and actor Anurag Kashyap has landed in legal trouble after a court in Surat…
Zee Entertainment Enterprises has initiated legal action against JioStar, the joint venture formed by Reliance Industries and The Walt Disney Company, alleging unauthorised use of its copyrighted music content. The lawsuit, filed in a New Delhi court on April 14, seeks damages of approximately $3 million and calls for an immediate halt to any ongoing infringement.
According to court documents reviewed by Reuters, Zee has claimed that its music catalogue was used at least 50 times across television programmes and streaming content on JioStar’s platforms after licensing agreements expired in 2024 and 2025. The company stated in its filing that “the illegal exploitation thereof amounted to copyright infringement,” and urged the court to restrain further use of its works.
The dispute is part of a broader series of legal disagreements between the two entities following the $8.5 billion merger that brought together Reliance and Disney’s media operations in India. JioStar currently operates a large portfolio of television channels and the streaming platform JioHotstar, which reportedly reaches around 500 million monthly users. Zee, one of India’s long-established media networks, maintains a catalogue of over 19,000 songs across multiple languages.
During a recent hearing, the court directed JioStar to ensure that no further infringement occurs while the case is under consideration and asked the company to comply within 15 days. The next hearing is scheduled for July 23.
JioStar has denied the allegations and rejected Zee’s demand for damages. In earlier correspondence cited in court filings, the company stated that it had taken “extensive steps to remove any infringing content,” including legacy programming. It also argued that residual archival hosting does not constitute unlawful use, a claim that Zee has contested.
The case also comes at a time when both parties are engaged in arbitration proceedings in London over a separate dispute related to a cricket rights agreement, where Reliance is reportedly seeking $1 billion in damages from Zee.
Industry observers note that the lawsuit highlights increasing friction over content ownership and licensing as India’s media and streaming landscape continues to consolidate. The outcome of the case could have wider implications for how intellectual property rights are managed across platforms in the evolving entertainment ecosystem.
