He also changed his Twitter name to ‘Anubhav Sinha (Not Bollywood).’

His tweet received support from directors Sudhir Mishra and Hansal Mehta, who claimed that they have quit Bollywood as well.

Sudhir Mishra replied to Sinha and wrote, ” Bollywood chhodo (quit Bollywood).”

In response to this tweet, director Hansal Mehta wrote, “Chhor diya (I have quit). It never existed in the first place.”
