Anurag Kashyap reacts to his name in Epstein Files
The alleged mail refers to Anurag as the ‘Bollywood guy’ and ‘a Famous Bollywood director’, who had reportedly come on board for an event connected to Epstein held in Beijing in 2017.
Anurag Kashyap has now reacted to his name being listed in the email. He told Hindustan Times, “I’ve no clue about this. I get invitations as a speaker, about 15 a month. I rarely respond. Also, I have never been to Beijing in my life!”
He goes on to add that the nature of the documents itself isn’t convincing, “It’s some random email, that’s self explanatory . The click baits in my name are more popular than my films.”
Notably, tycoon Bill Gates' name has also emerged in the Epstein Files. Reacting to it, Bill, during an interview, clarified that he ‘regrets’ all contact he had with him.
Anurag Kashyap's name appears in Epstein files
According to recent reports, Anurag Kashyap is mentioned as the 'Bollywood guy' in email exchanges between Epstein and individuals such as Giuseppe Bersani, Gino Yu, and Ornella Corazza, in the Epstein Files.
The emails allegedly discussed Epstein’s planned trips to Cuba along with other locations, and mentioned Kashyap as one of the expected guests at workshops on Buddhism, technology, and medicine. In one of the messages in the email, Kashyap was also described as 'a famous Bollywood director.' Notably, Kashyap’s name appears along with other famous personalities such as Ben Goertzel, Bruce Damer, and DJ Spooky.
Although Kashyap’s name appears in the files, it does not imply that the filmmaker attended any of the events or was involved in Epstein’s criminal activities. There is no evidence about Kashyap and Epstein being present at the same place at the same time. Furthermore, Kashyap's clarification has settled the dust on the speculations doing the rounds about the Dacoit actor.
