Vivek Agnihotri calls Priyanka Chopra 'real life star' for standing against bullies

Filmmaker Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri is known for putting forward his strong opinions on social media. Well, now the filmmaker has reacted to Priyanka Chopra Jonas' comments about leaving Bollywood after being 'pushed into a corner'. Agnihotri called PeeCee a "real life star" and implies that those who can leave Bollywood and find success on their own are the true stars.

He also mentions the bullying and harassment that occurs in Bollywood and suggests that it can lead some to kneel down, surrender, give up, take drugs, or even lose their lives. However, he believes that very few can quit and create their own success.

This statement reflects the ongoing debate around nepotism, harassment, and power dynamics within the Indian film industry. Chopra Jonas' comments about feeling pushed into a corner and having beef with people in Bollywood have sparked a conversation about the treatment of outsiders and newcomers in the industry. Agnihotri's statement suggests that those who can overcome these challenges and find success on their own are truly exceptional.

Reacting to the same Vivek wrote, "When big bullies bully, some kneel down, some surrender, some give up and leave, some take drugs, few have lost life too. Against this 'impossible to defeat' gang of bullies, very very few quit and make their own universe of success. Those are the real life stars."

For the unversed, Priyanka was speaking to Dax Shepherd on his podcast Armchair Expert and said that for the first time as she was feeling "safe" during their conversation. She talked about why she wanted to work in the US and said she had "beef with people" in Bollywood.

Meanwhile, on the work front, Vivek Agnihotri is gearing up for the release of The Vaccine War, which is slated to release on August 15, 2023, in 11 languages, making it one of the most promising films ever filmed.
