Mumbai, February 25: A day after national-award-winning director Vivek Agnihotri alleged that Anupama Chopra was trying to ‘sabotage’ his recent movie, The Kashmir Files, he released a Youtube exposing her inherent prejudice against his films.
Agnihotri said in his video, “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." Earlier, Agnihotri had tweeted that Anupama Chopra was playing ‘dirty tricks’ to target his movie. He announced that he would soon expose the tricks of the trade used by Anupama and her team.
In the video, Agnihotri also showed how Film Companion had called his last movie ‘The Tashkent Files’ as a “second-hand history lesson in a third rate politics”. Film Companion has not written a single review on the ‘The Kashmir Files’, Agnihotri said in the video.
It is noteworthy, that several Kashmiri Hindus had alleged that Shikara did not do justice to the Kashmiri Hindu cause. It watered down the genocide of Hindus to appease Islamic agenda. Kashmiri Pandits had disowned the film, as they had felt it was fabricated and did not deliver facts.
