- Anurag Kashyap has reiterated that the third season of his popular web show Sacred Games has been shelved.
- He also added that he is not working for digital platforms right now.
- All scared since the controversies around Ali Abbas Zafar’s 2021 web show Tandav.
The third season of Anurag Kashyap’s well-known web series Sacred Games has once again been postponed. Additionally, he said that he is not currently working for any digital platforms since they are all afraid following the scandal surrounding Ali Abbas Zafar’s web series Tandav from 2021.
Sacred Games was directed by Anurag and Vikramaditya Motwane. Along with many other actors, the show featured Saif Ali Khan, Pankaj Tripathi, and Nawazuddin Siddiqui.
Anurag remarked to Mashabale India, “When the interviewer applauded Sacred Games and said he expected the director to produce more explosive stuff on OTT, “I actually worked on it because I wanted to do so much. But OTT’s aaj ke date was unsuccessful. Today, OTT lacks the bravery (Tandav ke baad sab dar gaye hain). Since Tandav, everyone has been afraid.”
“Now, I’m not interested in the (kind of work on) OTT where I’m not permitted to give characters surnames and I’m not allowed to depict things as they actually are. I’m unable to perform this hygiene task. I won’t carry it out. I’d rather not do it if I can’t keep it real “Added he
Anurag stated that he likes to work on projects that he finds enjoyable rather than performing the “hygienic stuff” for OTT merely because it is what everyone else is doing.
He also spoke about joining the team for Sacred Games throughout the interview. He claimed that the producers first turned him down because someone had informed them that “Anurag Kashyap does not draw female audience.” Vikramaditya later extended an invitation for him to participate, and he accepted. The show’s third season was canceled, and according to the creator, only Netflix knows why.
Several FIRs were made in six states before to the release of Tandav, alleging that the film’s content offended religious emotions. The show finally needed to have several scenes altered.
