Anurag Kashyap, who has been earning accolades for his recently released romantic drama Manmarziyaan, had a strange encounter with a fan on Monday.

One of the criticisms of the Abhishek Bachchan-Taapsee Pannu-Vicky Kaushal-starrer was that it was too long.

Plenty of critics noted this and wrote that the film could have been a bit shorter in the second half.

However, on Twitter, one fan took this to another level. He tweeted at Kashyap, requesting him to trim down the film, make it 'crisper' and release it digitally.

Not one to take unsolicited advice seriously, Kashyap had a witty clapback.

He responded to the Tweet, saying, "Film hai... French Fries nahi hai...."

As far as the editing goes, the film courted controversy after the producers (Colour Yellow and Eros) edited out scenes that showed Bachchan's character Robbie, who plays a Sikh, smoking. Kashyap has called out the censorship by the studio as the film had been cleared by the Censor Board.
