Vivek reacted to Naseeruddin Shah’s comment
Recently, Naseeruddin said about films like ‘The Kashmir Files’, ‘Gadar 2’, ‘The Kerala Story’ that they are harmful for the people because too much chauvinism has been shown in them. While talking to BollywoodLife about this, Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri said, “I don’t know. I think it is for them to decide which is a good film, which is a bad film. I am sure he likes films which are always critical of India. Some people are disappointed in life. He always believes in negative news, negative things so I don’t know what Naseer Bhai likes.
I have been a fan of his acting and had also cast him in ‘The Tashkent Files’. But recently he says such things, maybe he has become very old or maybe he is very disappointed in life.”
What problem does Naseer have with The Kashmir Files?
The film maker also expressed regret over how people are not able to accept the facts. He said, “I don’t know what problem they have with The Kashmir Files. If he says that there was no genocide of Kashmiri Hindus in Kashmir then I will understand, otherwise I don’t know why he wants to cover up the genocide. He is an intelligent man, he does not appear to be a genocide denier. If he denies genocide then I have no words to say.
‘The Vaccine War’ when will it be released
Let us tell you that recently, ‘The Kashmir Files’ won the Nargis Dutt Award for Best Feature Film on National Integration at the 69th National Film Awards. Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri is now waiting for his new film ‘The Vaccine War’, which is ready to be released in theaters on September 28.
