Anurag Kashyap addresses the controversy surrounding the Epstein Files
According to an email that is making the rounds online, Anurag Kashyap is referred to as the "Bollywood guy" and a "Famous Bollywood director" who allegedly consented to participate in an Epstein-related event that was supposedly scheduled for Beijing in 2017.
Kashyap has denied any involvement with the allegations. "I have no idea about this," he said to HT City. I receive roughly fifteen invitations per month to speak. I don't often reply. In addition, I have never visited Beijing before!

What is the most recent Epstein Files news?
The public now has more access to files about Jeffrey Epstein's crimes and relationships with powerful individuals thanks to the US Justice Department's release of millions more documents connected to its investigations into the man.
On Friday, January 30, over three million pages of documents were released to the public, according to Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche. The documents, which are a part of a larger collection that was not part of an earlier release in December, were posted to the department's website.
Under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which was passed in response to significant political and public pressure, the disclosures are being made. The government is required by law to release its records pertaining to Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, his former partner.
The Justice Department failed to comply with Congress's directive that all records be made public by December 19. Hundreds of attorneys were tasked with reviewing the files to determine what information should be deleted in order to protect victims of sexual abuse, according to officials. Since then, the total number of documents being reviewed—including duplicate records—has increased to about 5.2 million pages.
Tens of thousands of pages of material, including photos, interview notes, phone logs, and court documents, were made public by the department in the days preceding Christmas. A large number of those records were already available to the public.
