He does not shy away from calling a spade a spade, which is why he often becomes a topic of discussion on social media.
In the year 2020, Anurag Kashyap had opened up on his fight with Karan Johar in a conversation with Mid-Day. “Karan Johar gave an interview calling me a psychopath. Till then we had not met. I called him a fat kid, who still thinks he is in school. Remember we had this fight in mid-day. I also said something about Anil Kapoor in the interview that became a headline. But people always knew I was childlike.”, he said.

In the same interaction, Anurag Kashyap also recalled a few fun moments from his career, stressing on the one where he pranked Mukul Anand. “There was a time when Mukul Anand was making Trimurti (1995). I wanted to work with him as an assistant. I would call his house land-line. Every call was a rupee gone. And he was always busy. Third time I said, ‘Subhash Ghai bol raha hoon. Unko bolna kal se set pe aane ki zarurat nahin hai [This is producer Subhash Ghai, tell him not to show up on the sets from tomorrow],’ and hung up.”
