Mumbai: Thappad director Anubhav Sinha says he has had enough and he is resigning from Bollywood. He tweeted about it on Tuesday and had even had an interaction with director Sudhir Mishra on the subject.

In his first tweet he wrote: ‘ENOUGH!!! I hereby resign from Bollywood. Whatever the f*** that means.’ Expanding on the very definition of the word,

Sudhir tweeted: ‘What’s Bollywood?I came 2be partof Cinema inspired by Satyajit Ray ,Raj Kapoor,Guru Dutt,Ritwick Ghatak,Bimal Roy,Mrinal Sen , Hrishikesh Mukherjee,KAsif,Vijay Anand ,Javed Akhtar,Tapan Sinha, Gulzar ,Shekhar Kapur,Ketan Mehta , Bharatan n Aravindan etc.Thatswhere I’ll always be.’

Retweeting to Sudhir, Anubhav wrote in Hindi: People, lets go out of Bollywood. We will continue to work in Hindi film industry and make films. He quoted a line ‘Yeh lai apni lakuti kamariya bahutahin nach nachayo’ from a popular verse from Hindi poet Surdas’ poem ‘Maiya Mori Main Nahin Maakhan Khayo’ which means ‘take this, your sticks and blanket, you have made me dance a lot.’

The duo then went on to list their other favourite directors including Govind Nihalani, Shyam Benegal and Saeed Mirza. Director Hansal Mehta jumped in to say that he too had quit and wrote: ‘Chhod diya. It never existed in the first place.’

Anubhav has changed his Twitter name, which now reads, Anubhav Sinha (Not Bollywood).
