Anurag Kashyap Slams Netflix’s Ted Sarandos as ‘Definition of Dumb’ Over ‘Sacred Games’ Comments


Indian filmmaker Anurag Kashyap slams Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos as 'definition of dumb' over 'Sacred Games' comments.

Indian filmmaker Anurag Kashyap has launched a attack on Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos, calling him “the definition of dumb” and criticizing the streaming giant’s early India strategy around shows like “ Sacred Games.” Bowing in 2018, the neo-noir “Sacred Games,” directed by Kashyap and Vikramaditya Motwane, is Netflix’s first Indian original series. Kashyap’s reference here is to mother-in-law, daughter-in-law soap “Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi,” which aired 1,833 episodes between 2000-2008 on Star Plus and was one of several in the genre produced by Indian content queen Ekta Kapoor.
