National-award-winning director Vivek Agnihotri, in a Youtube video, made a slew of shocking revelations against Anupama Chopra and alleged that she is trying to ‘sabotage’ his recent movie – The Kashmir Files. In his video, the filmmaker also pointed out that the the self-proclaimed movie critic holds inherent prejudice against his films.
The Kashmir Files director accused that there is a concerted campaign being carried out against his movies by movie critic Anupama Chopra and her organisation – “Film Companion”. He alleged that the Bollywood biggies control the media establishment and it is not easy today just to rely on social media platforms to promote creative movies.
Calling out the production houses and producers including Anupama Chopra’s husband Vidhu Vinod Chopra, Vivek Agnihotri pointed out that these entities have become the establishments of the Bollywood that set the rules and decide on the success of the individuals who enter the industry.
“Only those people who bend before this establishment will survive in the industry. Vivek Agnihotri never bows down to this establishment, never will do. Hence, I have been made to pay a price,” said the director in his video.
Meanwhile, on Wednesday, Vivek Agnihotri labelled Anupama Chopra as ‘Shoorpankha’ of Bollywood and suggested that Film Companion head Anupama Chopra was playing ‘dirty tricks’ in the background to target his movie. Filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri announced that he would soon expose the tricks of the trade used by Anupama and her team.
Agnihotri in his tweet issued an ultimatum to Anupama Chora and challenged her saying, “If you have any guts, sabotage ‘The Kashmir Files’ openly. Please stop playing dirty tricks from the background.” He also mentioned that Film Companion head Anupama Chopra was playing ‘dirty tricks’ in the background to target his movie.
Dear @anupamachopra, the Shoorpanakha of Bollywood,
— Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri (@vivekagnihotri) February 23, 2022
If you have any guts, sabotage #TheKashmirFiles openly. Pl stop playing dirty tricks from the background. Your only qualification is that you are married to a Producer who despite being a KP, stabbed KPs in their back.
His Tweet read: “Dear @anupamachopra, the Shoorpanakha of Bollywood, If you have any guts, sabotage #TheKashmirFiles openly. Pl stop playing dirty tricks from the background. Your only qualification is that you are married to a Producer who despite being a KP, stabbed KPs in their back.”
The ace director, in his latest expose, elaborated his views on Anupama Chopra and her media house. Agnihotri explained that the micro-blogging site Twitter recommended him to one of the tweets of Film Companion that promoted Deepika Padukone-starrer movie Gehraiyaan.
According to Vivek, Anupama Chopra’s organisation has aggressively marketed the movie even after the movie flopped at the box office. The Karan Johar-produced movie has been rejected by the viewers and has also been declared a massive flop.
The director compared Deepika’s latest release and noted that Film Companion has not reviewed or tweeted the trailer of his upcoming movie ‘The Kashmir Files’. Instead, Agnihotri pointed out that Film Companion has tried to carry out negative propaganda against his film by referring to his last movie, ‘The Tashkent Files’.
