Anurag Kashyap the king of dark drama is an outspoken person. The 'Mukkabaaz' director has shared a list of films of 2018 which were exceptional and as a professional filmmaker, he himself was jealous of these fine films of the year. He tweeted the list of movie names,"Hindi films of 2018 that made me jealous - in no particular order. Mulk, Badhai Ho, Manto, Andhadhun, Tumbaad, Mard ko Dard Nahin Hota, Soni, Omertà, October, I don't think there has been so many good films made in Hindi in recent times. Cheers to us" Many filmmakers even responded to his sporting gesture.

Ram Gopal Varma wrote, "Wowww Spoken like a true filmmaker and an even more true film lover!" Whereas 'Fanaa' fame director Kunal Kohli wrote, "I too always have a certain jealousy when I see a film I really like. I think as filmmakers it's important for us to be jealous of each other's works. Keeps the innocence alive. We have to be innocent to see things differently."

'Mulk' director Anubhav Sinha replied with his clean sense of humour and wrote, "इतने साल तूने jealous फ़ील कराया। अब एक साल तुम करो। हा हा हा। Thanks a lot Buddy!!!" Kashyap was spontaneous to tweet about many of these films when they released.
