Anurag Kashyap refutes Sacred Games Season 3 rumours, criticizes ‘fake’ casting call for web series

Director-producer Anurag Kashyap has criticized a fake casting profile on social media that claims casting for season 3 of the popular Netflix series Sacred Games. The first season of the series was directed by Anurag Kashyap and Vikramaditya Motwani. It starred Saif Ali Khan and Nawazuddin Siddiqui in the lead roles. Like in the original series, Kashyap played Siddiqui in season 2, while “Masaan”‘s Neeraj Ghaywan came on board to direct the sequences with Saif.

Taking to his Instagram handle on Sunday, Anurag Kashyap shared a screenshoot of an Instagram story of a ‘scamster’ and requested his followers to report him. He wrote: “This man rajbeer_casting is a scam. Please report it. There is no season 3 of Sacred Games happening. I am registering an FIR against this person.” (sic)

In the shared screengrab, the need for “female” actors of different age groups in the fake casting call was mentioned, who “should be okay with bold scenes”. The note shared by the user read, “Hello all finally chance has arrived Casting for Sacred Games 3 Netflix Series Direct – Anurag Kashyap Female 20-27 Years with Bold Scene Should be OK Female 20-28 With Bold Scene Year 2nd Lead dancer should be fine with bold scenes Female 30 – 40 Yes to play village aunty should be fine with bold scenes 50+ years to play female villain should be fine with bold scenes to play male agent 20-28 Years Makeup Artist Fashion Stylist Shoot in Mumbai The dates for the shoot will be announced soon.
