Actually, after the tremendous success of 'Kantara', fans of 'Tumbbad' and 'Kantara' 'Tumbbad' clashed with each other on social media. Some would have told 'Kantara' better and some would have told 'Tumbad'. In the midst of this fight of fans, when Anand Gandhi, the creative director of Tumbbad criticized Kantara by hitting an entry, the anger of its fans reached the seventh sky.

Anand Gandhi wrote, 'Kantara' is nothing in front of 'Tumbbad'. That was my idea behind making Tumbbad. In this we showed the horror of toxic masculinity and things of the other world, whereas 'Kantara' is a film promoting these things. After this statement of Anand, the fans of 'Kantara' advised him to see the figures. Also explained to him the difference between Kantara's Rs 400+ crore and Tumbbad's Rs 13.57 crore.
