Salman Khan's rape remark has shocked many people and filmmaker Anurag Kashyap is one of them. While most of the Bollywood has decided to stay silent on the recent insensitive remark made by the 50-year-old actor during a recent press meet, Kashyap is in no mood to mince words.

The Udta Punjab producer in an exclusive interview to India Today Television said that Salman must apologise for his remark.

"It was poor choice of words. And Salman must say sorry," he said.

But at the same time, he did mention that Salman immediately retracted the statement. "He will come out and sorry for it. What he says is unfortunate and he also realises it," added the filmmaker.

It's been more that 24 hours since the remark went viral and caused an outrage on social media. But the Bajrangi Bhaijhaan actor still hasn't made an public apology. And in fact, not many Bollywood celebs have criticsed the statement made by the actor.

In fact, the Dev D director went onto clarify that unlike other Bollywood stars he doesn't belong to any camp and wouldn't remain silent on the issue if asked for an opinion.

"Salman is not my friend. I have no love for him. We don't work together," he added.

It isn't just Kashyap who feels that the Wanted actor should apologise. In fact, National Commission for Women has demanded an apology within seven days from the actor.

For the uninitiated, Salman invited the wrath of people when he compared himself to a raped woman. When asked about his gruelling wrestling training and shooting schedule for Ali Abbas Zafar's Sultan, the Bajrangi Bhaijaan actor said that he wasn't able to walk straight and felt liked a raped woman.

Later, his father Salim Khan took to Twitter to apologise on behalf of his son. The veteran screenwriter said, "To err is human, to forgive divine. Today, on International Yoga Day, let's not run our shops on this mistake. Nevertheless, I apologise on behalf of him. Forgiveness is to pardon the unpardonable or it is no virtue at all. Undoubtedly, what Salman said is wrong, the metaphor, example and the context. The intention was not wrong."

Sultan, which sees Salman Khan getting into the wrestling pit and sweating it out, stars Anushka Sharma opposite him. The film is slated for an Eid release this year.
