EXPOSED! Vivek Agnihotri LASHES Out At Fact-Checkers For Revealing The Truth Behind The Kashmir Files Winning The Dadasaheb Phalke Award

Ever since the release of The Kashmir Files, filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri has been taking to social media to lash out at netizens who have been criticizing the movie. The self-proclaimed right-winged celebrity, whose movie won an award at the Dadasaheb Phalke International Film Festival Awards 2023, was called out by media publications for confusing the audience.

The director had taken to social media, to announce the good news. However, he left the netizens confused. He failed to mention that the movie was awarded at an award show hosted by a private organisation under the name of Dada Saheb Phalke and not the prestigious award which honours an individual for their contribution to Indian cinema. Well, it is safe to say that Agnihotri's mistake did not go down well with media publications that fact-check news.

As soon as Vivek tweeted about the win, articles were written about the same. Not only did the filmmaker lash out at the publications for essaying, but he also went all out on a social media war with journalist Mohammed Zubair, owner of ALT News, calling him names and threatening him. Slamming the fact-checkers, Vivek wrote, “Fact checking is the biggest extortion mafia today. Controlled by crazy, lunatic terror organisation.”

Take a look at the war of words between Agnihotri and Zubair:

No, my dear…
I don’t hate fact-checkers, I hate when puncture repairers pretend to be fact checkers. Because you are nothing but just a jehadi pimp of India’s enemies & I know very well who is behind you.
हर ज़िहादी का वक़्त आता है और तेरा वक़्त जल्दी आने वाला है, संभल के रहो। https://t.co/mjseVB0Lml

Hey Fake Checker,

1. I am sorry but you will have to live with the fact that #TheKashmirFiles has indeed exposed your jihadi mafia. Pl learn to deal with it.

I don’t blame madarasa scholar like you for you can’t even read what’s written on trophy.

The words used by you shows your hate towards Muslim community. DON'T DELETE THIS. Let the World know.
— Mohammed Zubair (@zoo_bear) February 22, 2023

Instead of metaphors, I should call you exactly what you are:

Genocide denier, terror supporter, perpetrator of women harassment (Nupur Sharma) instigator of #SarTanSeJuda (Kanhaiya Lal) & anti-truth pimp of Hindu’s enemies.

Prepare yourself for qayamat when it comes.
The end. https://t.co/GzeRh00TuD

This is not the first time Vivek has gotten into a nasty battle on Twitter with anyone who speaks against his ideologies.

Talking about the movie, which caused an uproar in 2022, starred Anupam Kher, Pallavi Joshi, Mithun Chakraborty and many others in pivotal roles. The Kashmir Files narrated the story of Kashmiri Pandits in the valley in the 1990s. It went on to become one of the highest-grossing movies in Bollywood in 2022. On the work front, the director’s upcoming project is titled The Vaccine War.
