The filmmaker tweeted late Tuesday night and wrote, "ENOUGH!!! I hereby resign from Bollywood. Whatever the f*** that means."
Sinha, who has made critically acclaimed films like 'Article 15', 'Thappad' and 'Mulk' did not give any further explanation but was backed by filmmakers Sudhir Mishra and Hansal Mehta who questioned the concept of Bollywood.
"What's Bollywood'?! and tweeted, "What's Bollywood? I came to be a part of Cinema inspired by Satyajit Ray, Raj Kapoor, Guru Dutt, Ritwick Ghatak, Bimal Roy, Mrinal Sen, Hrishikesh Mukherjee, K Asif, Vijay Anand, Javed Akhtar, Tapan Sinha, Gulzar, Shekhar Kapur, Ketan Mehta, Bharatan n Aravindan etc. That's where I'll always be," wrote Mishra.
Hansal Mehta too joined to 'quit' Bollywood and added, "It never existed in the first place'.
