Bring down the system, not the individual: Shekhar Kapur on slamming B-Town biggies over Sushant's death

Kapur tweeted, "Naming few people has no value. They themselves are products and victims of a ‘system’ everyone is protesting against. If you really care, if you’re really angry, then bring down the system. Not the individual. That’s guerilla warfare. Not a spurt of anger."

Earlier the filmmaker had said he knew the people who had let Sushant down leading the actor to commit suicide.

He tweeted, "I knew the pain you were going through. I knew the story of the people that let you down so bad that you would weep on my shoulder. I wish Iwas around the last 6 months. I wish you had reached out to me. What happened to you was their Karma. Not yours."

Following Sushant's act of committing suicide, netizens took to social media to slam Bollywood's powerful people including filmmaker Karan Johar, actress Alia Bhatt and lastly superstar Salman Khan and his family.

While Karan and Alia faced the ire of netizens for allegedly encouraging nepotism in the film industry, Salman was slammed for ruining careers of many including actor Vivek Oberoi.

Joining the social media users, actress Kangana Ranaut, who is known for taking on the Bollywood's "influentials", said she had failed to understand how some are saying that people with weak mind commit suicide by getting depressed.

"A guy who has a scholarship from Stanford... he is a rank holder of his engineering entrance, how can his mind be weak?" she asked in the video shared by her team on Instagram.

She also called out the awards and accolade system and said, "Disgusting films like Gully Boy gets all awards but no one acknowledged great ones like 'Chhichhore'."

"We don't want anything from you, just appreciate the good works we do. My own films go unnoticed. People find Sanjay Dutt's addiction very cute but sycophant journalists call me or people like Sushant psychotic or neurotic or addict. Why are they pushing me towards suicide? Was his death suicide or a planned murder?"

The latest in the list to slam Salman is filmmaker Abhinav Singh Kashyap who has accused the Dabangg star of sabotaging his films and ruining him mentally.

In a long Facebook post, Abhinav accused Salman's actor-producer brother Arbaaz Khan and his family of "bullying" him forcing the filmmaker to walk out of 'Dabangg 2'.

Abhinav, the brother of filmmaker Anurag Kashyap, then went on to accuse Salman of sabotaging the release of 'Besharam' but he managed to get his film released with the support of Reliance Entertainment.

"Mr. Salman Khan and family sabotaged the release of the film and got their PROs to run a sustained negative smear campaign against me and my film BESHARAM before release. This scared the distributors from buying my film. Reliance Entertainment and I were capable and courageous enough to release the film ourselves but the battle had just begun..," he wrote.

In a much-different reaction to Sushant's suicide, the cause of which is still unknown, actress Sonam Kapoor Ahuja tweeted, "Blaming a girlfriend , ex girlfriend, family , colleagues for someone’s death is ignorant and fucking mean spirited."
