Filmmakers Raj and DK have been in the spotlight following rumors that their highly anticipated projects, Gulkanda Tales and Rakt Brahmand, have faced setbacks. A report by Bollywood Hungama surfaced on Tuesday claiming that Amazon Prime Video had shelved Gulkanda Tales, and a separate story by Peeping Moon alleged that a financial fraud of Rs 2–3 crore was committed during the production of Rakt Brahmand.

Despite these troubling rumors, Raj and DK chose to respond with a calm yet defiant message, emphasizing their commitment to their craft and remaining undeterred by external challenges.

On Wednesday afternoon, Raj and DK took to their joint X (formerly Twitter) account to share a cryptic post that didn’t directly address the rumors but spoke volumes about their resilience. The filmmakers, known for their work on The Family Man and Farzi, posted a series of pictures from various sets, alongside a note that highlighted their unwavering focus on their work.

The note began by acknowledging the inevitability of disruptions in their professional journey, writing: "Every now and then something happens to shake things up. And you have a choice on how to react. For us that choice of reaction has always been clear—to just put our heads down and continue doing what we have been doing. Work harder. Do better."

Raj and DK reflected on their current phase in the industry, noting the progress they’ve made while working on multiple projects. “While we are in the midst of production on our most ambitious show yet… and fresh from completing season 3 of The Family Man… and a few more films and shows in development… we took a quick moment to contemplate,” they shared.

They continued by emphasizing their satisfaction with their work, asserting: “We are exactly where we want to be :) Creating stories one after another, the way we want to, with the people we love to work with, and working round the clock and round the year :).” This message conveyed their commitment to both their craft and their team, showing that they remain focused on what matters most—creating stories they believe in.

In what seemed like a response to those trying to bring them down, the filmmakers included a pointed remark: “Shit will keep happening…someone will steal, someone will throw you under the bus, people will say what they want to…The best reaction to all of it seems to be to just keep at it. To break new ground and keep coming to you with new, original stories. That’s been the promise.” This part of the message hinted at the challenges they’ve faced, including the financial allegations against the executive producer of Rakt Brahmand, and the negative reports surrounding Gulkanda Tales.

The directors concluded their message with a clear statement about their upcoming projects, reaffirming that their work will continue regardless of the obstacles they face: “We just thought we needed to take a moment to reiterate this! Next up: Rakt Brahmand on Netflix; and Gulkanda Tales and The Family Man 3 on Prime.” This statement serves as a rebuttal to the claims that Gulkanda Tales was shelved, signaling that they are moving forward with their plans and that fans can still expect their shows to hit screens soon.

The controversy surrounding Gulkanda Tales and Rakt Brahmand—including the financial fraud accusations—has undoubtedly caused a stir. However, Raj and DK’s reaction shows their resolve to push through adversity and continue creating new content.
