Abhay Deol, speaking to Mid-Day, said Anurag Kashyap lied about him in public. "One lie was...I demanded...[five-star] hotel room [during the shoot of Dev.D]. He had actually...said, 'You can't stay with us, you're a Deol...I want to put you up in a hotel room'," said Abhay. "When Anurag said that crap about me, he sent me 'apology' messages," Abhay added.
