Vivek Agnihotri on not being invited to The Kapil Sharma Show: I don’t get to decide who should be invited

The trailer of The Kashmir Files has definitely stirred quite a lot of conversation online, including how filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri slammed Anupama Chopra. And well, now, it looks like he has slammed Kapil Sharma and the team of The Kapil Sharma for refusing to call them on the show.

The film is based on the real-life exodus of Kashmiri Pandits from Kashmir and features an impressive cast of Anupam Kher, Mithun Chakraborty, Pallavi Joshi, and Darshan Kumar among others.

Earlier today, Vivek Agnihotri took to his Twitter handle and went on to criticize the fact that it was the decision of the makers to not invite them on the show and they refused to promote The Kashmir Files as there were no big names.

When a Twitterati wrote, “Vivek sir, this film need to promote in @KapilSharmaK9 Kapil ji show. Kapil bhai…Apne sabka sahyog kiya hai…please iss film ko bhi promote kare…ham sab Mithun da, anupam kher ko ek sath dekhna chahte hai. Dhanyawad… #KashmiriHindus #KashmiriPandits.” Re-tweeting the same tweet, the filmmaker revealed that he hasn’t be called on the show.

Vivek Agnihotri replied, “I don’t get to decide who should be invited on @KapilSharmaK9 show. It’s his and his producers choice whom he wants to invite. As far as Bollywood is concerned, I’d say what once Mr. Bachchan was quoted saying about Gandhis: वो राजा हैं हम रंक…”

Another of his tweet from earlier had everyone's attention that said, “Even I am a fan. But it’s a fact that they refused to call us on their show because there is no big star. In Bollywood non-starter Directors, writers and Good actors are considered as NOBODIES.”

The Kashmir Files is slated for a March 11, 2022 release.
