Anurag Kashyap and Anil Kapoor
Anurag Kashyap took a jibe at Anil Kapoor and asked him where his Oscar is. The Bollywood actor was seen giving a befitting reply to the filmmaker on social media. Anurag and Anil engaged in a war-of-words on Twitter. It started when Anil congratulated actress Shefali Shah and the team of Delhi Crime for their best drama series win at the 48th International Emmy Awards.

Anurag jumped into the wagon and wrote: "Nice to see some deserving people get international recognition. Waise, aapka Oscar kidhar hain (Where is your Oscar)? No? Achha... nomination?"

Taking a cryptic jibe about "Slumdog Millionaire", which was originally offered to Shah Rukh Khan, who turned it down, Anurag said: "Says the k-k-k-ing of hand-me-down films. Weren't you the second choice for this film also?"
Anil replied: "The closest you have come to an Oscar is watching Slumdog Millionaire win Oscars on TV. #TumseNaHoPayega."

Anil said he doesn't care.
"Hand-me-down or pick-me-up: I don't care. Work is work. Tumhare jaise kaam dhoondte waqt baal toh nahi nochne padte (At least I don't have to tear my hair looking for work). #actorlife."

To which Anurag said: "Sir, you don't talk about hair. Aapko toh apne baal ke dum pe roles milte hain (You get roles only because of your hair). #BaalBaalBaloo #TheJungleLife."

Anil replied saying that one requires skills to have a four-decade-long career in films.
"Beta, you need serious skills to have a career like mine. Aise hi nahi chal rahi humari gaadi 40 saal se (There is a reason why my engine has been running for the last 40 years). #TheRealAK."

Sharing posters of Anil's recent films, Anurag wrote, "Sir har 40 saal purani gaadi ko vintage nahi kehte. Kuch ko khatara bhi kehte hain (Sir, not every old car is called vintage. Some are just junk). #retirementcalling."

"Abe meri gaadi 40 saal chali toh chali, teri toh abhi tak garage se hi nahi nikli hai (At least my car has been running for 40 years, yours is yet to come out of the garage). #thenationhasspoken," Anil wrote.

The Twitter spat seems to be a promotional stunt for their upcoming project "AK vs AK" for Netflix.
In the upcoming project, Anurag plays a disgraced filmmaker who kidnaps the daughter of an actor, played by Anil, and films the search for her in real time.
