Anurag Kashyap reportedly referred to Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos as a fool. The filmmaker shared a screenshot of a news article from The Indian Express on his Instagram handle, along with a caption expressing his views. In his post, he said,
“Netflix CEO Ted doesn’t believe starting in India with Sacred Games was the right decision. He thinks they should have begun with a more popular show.”
Interestingly, Sacred Games Season 1 was co-directed by Anurag Kashyap himself, and he has often expressed a deep personal connection with the show. Criticizing Ted Sarandos, Anurag wrote,
“He believes they should have started with a ‘saas-bahu’ (family drama) show. That’s exactly what they’re doing now. I’ve always known that people with technical know-how often fail at storytelling. But Ted Sarandos defines what it means to be a fool — I realized that today.”

The “saas-bahu” shows mentioned by Anurag are a reference to the popular Indian soap operas created by Ekta Kapoor. She recently collaborated with Netflix on multiple projects. In the 2000s, Ekta revolutionized Indian television with shows like Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, and now similar formulas are reportedly being introduced on OTT platforms as well.
