Anurag Kashyap

Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap has welcomed the decision of the Supreme Court of making the national anthem optional inside the cinema halls. The 45-year-old director told ANI, "If the Supreme Court has decided something, then it's supreme. If I talk about personal opinion, then whenever the national anthem is being played, I stand because I respect the nation. But during my childhood, I was taught that the national anthem should not be played under the roof, so there is a roof in cinema halls. I want to ask that what are we trying to prove by playing the national anthem before a movie? No one talks about that. The court has now taken a decision and that ends the discussion".
