After The Kashmir Files, Vivek Agnihotri To Make A Film On Delhi Riots, Deets Inside!!

Vivek Agnihotri’s film ‘The Kashmir Files’ has created a lot of buzzes. This movie has already earned Rs 200 crore. This film is based on the atrocities and exodus of Kashmiri Pandits in 1990. However, a section is opposing this film. According to many people, this film is anti-Muslim and is doing the work of dividing people. Vivek Agnihotri has said that a section of Bollywood is deliberately opposing it.

Talking on the issue of Bollywood, Vivek told, “I have not come here to declare anyone wrong or to defeat anyone. We make films on our own. We are outside Bollywood. Actually, we are completely the opposite of Bollywood. We are independent filmmakers. I don’t care if someone compliments my work or not. Very influential people wanted to ruin my film through fake news and hate propaganda.”

Vivek Agnihotri started with commercial films like ‘Dhan Dhana Dhan Gol’ and ‘Chocolate’. He later went on to make films like ‘Buddha in a Traffic Jam’ and ‘The Tashkent Files’. Talking on this issue, he further said, “I want to do creative work with talented people. I was not enjoying the environment in which I was working. After all, how can one take creative, editing and marketing control of a film under a star contract? Who are you? I am making a film and it should be a director’s film. People come to change the script. Suppose if I am working with some unknown person then no one will consider me but if I sign a big star then my status will be considered very big. If you are working with Badshah then you are Badshah but if you are not working with Badshah then you are no one. You are nothing. I just wanted to break this mindset and challenge the system.”

“We are making ‘The Delhi Files’ right now. If we talk about the web series then, we have shot enough in ‘The Kashmir Files’ that we have whatever we need. We need good people who can tie this thing all together. It will be a very interesting movie but someone has to finance the movie. This is our history and any big production house must take it up,” he said.
