Natty Natraj is renowned as one of the topmost cinematographers of Indian cinema and now he has also carved a niche for himself as a bankable actor who has several films under his kitty including Dhanush's 'Karnan' directed by Maari Selvaraj. Natty in a very upset mood had slammed Bollywood director Anurag Kashyap of taking help from him in his struggling days and now ignoring him.

Natty had posted on twitter "“Anurag kashyap was part writer of SATHYA.. than he came with paanch script with us.. I supported him with no money...Last train to mahakaali... i got nothing.. All work i did for him... he held all friends n every one away from his circles...Kind of work.. i did for him n Black friday.. every one worked too hard... Yeh anurag forgets me n talks nonsense... ask others those who involved with him... he is nothing but fool Anuragkashyab.... fool remauns fool.. I spoke about one selfish.. and only about.. Anurag kashyab..Am telling the truth.. no one wants to hear.. n listen.. what to do????From the bottom of my heart.. i said the truth...”

Anurag Kashyap has reached out Natty and has rendered a public apology for not being there for him when he needed. The ace Bollywood filmmaker has posted "Been reading a lot about @natty_nataraj ‘S outburst being reported in the media . For the record , I want to state here that he is not just my friend but we grew together in cinema . When I did not know how to communicate my shot to my cameraman , he taught me how to .. He was my teacher, he showed me how to move a camera , he was my first collaborator . He shot “Last Train to Mahakali”, “Paanch” and “Black Friday”. We lived our Years of ban and obscurity together. It was @natty_nataraj who introduced me to Tamizh cinema .

Anurag who acted as Nayanthara's villain in 'Imaikka Nodigal' has added "t was @natty_nataraj who introduced me to director Bala , it was him who made me meet Rajni Sir, he showed me my first Tamizh film starring @dhanushkraja directed by Selvaraghavan . Without subtitles . After which I discovered other Tamizh cinema. So if he feels hurt by something and has an outburst , because of a certain expectation from me , he has every right and it’s between two friends . And he comes from a place of love and honesty. @natty_nataraj has taught me so much and has been with me in my most obscure years.

Anurag has concluded "And please hear him .. I just got off the phone with him and all he has been doing is trying to reach me.. so please leave him alone and treat this as my official statement on the matter. His hurt is genuine. I wasn’t there when he needed me and I didn’t know about it. So let me say it very clearly . “I am sorry Natty “

Its good to see the acclaimed director own up to his mistake regarding his close friend Natty and also to show the world how much the Tamil actor has helped him in his growth.
