Vivek Agnihotri claims Naseeruddin Shah 'likes to support terrorists' after he calls the success of Gadar 2 'disturbing'

Filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri, who is currently busy promoting his upcoming movie The Vaccine War, has slammed Naseeruddin Shah after the actor said ‘it’s disturbing’ that films like The Kashmir Files, The Kerala Story, Gadar 2 are so popular. The filmmaker, who worked with Shah in The Tashkent Files, said that the veteran actor perhaps feels ’exposed’ with the truth of _The Kashmir Files_, and ’likes to support terrorists’ but he does not. “I am a great admirer of Naseer sahab that’s why I had cast him in The Tashkent Files. But I don’t know of late why he has grown old and if that’s the case then I should not say anything. Sometimes, people are frustrated with a lot of things, or maybe he feels he is getting exposed with the truth of The Kashmir Files something about him is getting exposed. People generally don’t like being naked in front of people through somebody else’s art. There is something wrong, there is something not right with what Naseer keeps saying,” said Agnihotri while talking to Zoom. He added, “I mean he is happy doing films that support genocide, he has acted in movies that supports genocide, perhaps he has because of his religion or because of his frustration. For whatever reasons, perhaps he likes to support terrorists, I don’t. I don’t even care what Naseer says because I have zero tolerance for terrorism, maybe he loves them, and I don’t care.”
