Controversies don't seem to be leaving filmmaker Shekhar Kapur's side. The director's recent tweet on his 1983 directorial Masoom faced the heat from users after which Anurag Kashyap stepped in his support. This comes after Kapur on Thursday tweeted that some 'famous, knowledgeable' people wanted him to change the film's script which drew flak from users who said that it was the remake of an English film Man, Woman and Child which released in 1980.

"So many people that 'Knew' wanted me to change the script of this film. People that were famous, experienced and 'knowledgeable'. Told me it had no drama, no villain. I was naive unknown unskilled untrained. But rebellious. Thank God for that !" Kapur had tweeted. However, people from the film fraternity including filmmaker Anurag Kashyap voiced their support for Kapur saying that 'Masoom' was a "superior" film than the one compared with. He added that it wasn't even the remake.
