Ghaywan,
Anubhav
Sinha,
actress
Swara
Bhasker
and
others
have
extended
support
to
Anurag
Kashyap
and
Taapsee
Pannu
after
reports
of
Income
Tax
raids
emerged.
The
raids
held
on
Wednesday
(March
3)
were
reportedly
in
connection
with
a
case
related
to
Anurag's
former
production
house,
Phantom
Pictures.
No
more
details
have
been
revealed
about
the
raid
except
that
it
was
in
connection
with
Phantom
Pictures,
which
was
dissolved
in
2018.
Meanwhile,
Maharashtra
state
minister
and
NCP
leader
Nawab
Malik
claimed
it
was
an
attempt
to
suppress
the
voices
of
those
who
speak
against
the
government.
Film
fraternity
members
and
fans
have
also
shown
support
for
Taapsee
and
Anurag.
Anubhav
Singh
wrote
on
Twitter,
"Kashyap
and
Taapsee
I
love
you
both.
Just.
Silence
has
a
higher
price.
But
it's
internal."
Swara
Bhasker
shared
a
series
of
tweets
extending
support
to
the
actor
and
the
filmmaker.
She
wrote,
"Appreciation
tweet
for
@taapsee
who
is
an
amazing
girl
with
courage
and
conviction
that
is
rare
to
see
now
days..
Stand
strong
warrior!.
In
another
tweet,
she
added,
"Appreciation
tweet
for
@anuragkashyap72
who
has
been
a
cinematic
trailblazer,
a
teacher
and
mentor
of
talent
and
a
man
With
rare
candour
and
a
brave
heart
!
More
power
to
you
Anurag."
Neeraj
took
a
dig
at
the
intention
behind
the
raids
and
shared
a
picture
of
Anurag's
vast
collection
of
books,
film
DVDs
and
Blu-rays.
He
added,
"I
hope
they
find
the
treasure
hidden
in
each
one
of
those
Blu-rays
and
DVDs.
And
there's
definitely
something
there
inside
those
books
at
@anuragkashyap72
's
house.
Too
much
wealth
in
them."
In
their
support,
fans
also
were
trending
the
hashtag
#ModiRaidsProFarmers.
However,
union
minister
Prakash
Javadekar
has
rejected
allegations
that
the
raids
were
linked
to
their
comments,
often
seen
as
critical
of
the
BJP.
"This
is
too
much.
Probe
agencies
undertake
investigations
based
on
credible
information
and
the
matter
later
goes
to
courts
as
well," PTI
quoted
him
as
saying
at
a
press
conference.
Notably,
Anurag
Kashyap
and
Taapsee
Pannu
who
are
vocal
about
social
issues
had
collaborated
for
the
2018
film
Manmarziyaan
and
are
working
together
for
the
upcoming
film
Dobaara.
