Kashyap was among 600 artistes who recently made an appeal to people to not vote for the BJP in the general elections.
Filmmaker Ashoke Pandit had criticised Kashyap for his tweet. "This twitter handle seems to be photoshopped because it doesn’t exist. Seems to be created by an #UrbanNaxal to give an opportunity to somebody to abuse #Modi when the entire World is happy," he wrote in response. Pandit and Kahsyap then went on heated exchange on Twitter.
