We revisit the idea of generating primordial anisotropies at the end of
inflation in models of inflation with gauge fields. To be specific we consider
the charged hybrid inflation model where the waterfall field is charged under a
U(1) gauge field so the surface of end of inflation is controlled both by
inflaton and the gauge fields. Using delta N formalism properly we find that
the anisotropies generated at the end of inflation from the gauge field
fluctuations are exponentially suppressed on cosmological scales. This is
because the gauge field evolves exponentially during inflation while in order
to generate appreciable anisotropies at the end of inflation the spectator
gauge field has to be frozen and scale invariant. We argue that this is a
generic feature, that is, one can not generate observable anisotropies at the
end of inflation within an FRW background.
