Film-maker
Anurag
Kashyap,
who
has
been
a
lot
in
the
news
lately
for
his
recent
work,
praised
the
work
of
his
co-director
Karan
Johar
for
his
bit
in
the
Indian
anthology
film,
Lust
Stories.
The
Netflix
original
which
is
a
multi-starrer,
is
being
highly
appreciated
for
its
bold
and
real
portrayal
of
sexual
desires
of
women,
while
also
focusing
on
empowerment
of
the
same.
Anurag
Kashyap
has
directed
the
first
part
of
the
film
that
stars
Radhika
Apte
in
the
lead.
While
talking
to
the
IANS,
he
addressed
the
issue
of
hypocrisy
and
stereotyping
associated
with
the
idea
of
women
masturbating.
He
told,
"It
is
good
to
talk
about
things
people
don't
want
you
to
speak
about."
He
further
added,
"The
biggest
disease
we
all
suffer
from
is
the
unnecessary
shame
that
is
thrust
upon
us.
We
don't
need
to
be
ashamed
of
being
yourself
and
what
we
seek,
wanting
pleasure
and
self-gratification."
The
director
feels
it
is
extremely
important
for
people
to
empower
themselves
and
he's
happy
that
people
have
actually
been
talking
about
the
above
these
issues.Using
the
platform
to
appreciate
Karan
Johar
for
his
work
in
Lust
Stories,
Kashyap
said,
"I
particularly
liked
what
Karan
Johar
did
so
unabashedly
because
he
didn't
hold
back
or
tried
being
artistic
or
anything
like
that.
He
said
'this
is
my
concern
and
I
want
to
put
it
out
there',
and
I
love
what
he
did."
Indirectly
pointed
at
the
censor
board,
he
said
he's
happy
to
have
had
the
opportunity
to
create
art
on
a
platform
like
Netflix
where
creativity
isn't
limited.
Anurag's
next
is
another
Netflix
web
series
called
Scared
Games
based
on
a
novel
of
the
same
name.
Saif
Ali
Khan
and
Radhika
Apte
play
the
lead
in
Scared
Games.
