Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap addressed the backlash surrounding his upcoming project 'Bandar', which suggests that the film is "anti-MeToo" or "pro-men". He clarified, "It has nothing to do with MeToo." He explained that his film doesn't show the "power play or the sexual angle" involved in MeToo cases. The film premiered at the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF).
