A few days ago, Anurag Kashyap had stated that the trend of pan-India films like Kantara, RRR, Pushpa: The Rise and Baahubali was “destroying” Bollywood. Speaking at a round table hosted by Galatta Plus, he said that everyone was now trying to make pan-India movies. “Success will be 5-10%. Films like Kantara and Pushpa give you the courage to go out and tell your stories. But KGF 2, however big the success, when you try and emulate that and set a project up, that’s when you start heading towards disaster. That’s the bandwagon that Bollywood destroyed itself on. You have to find films that give you courage,” he said. Coming back to Vivek Agnihotri, the filmmaker’s tweet on Kashyap prompted a lot of responses. Some people argued that Kashyap had nothing but praise for Kantara and was actually slamming the trend of copying pan-India films without working on any original content.
A few said they agreed with Anurag Kashyap’s views.
Many said that the director had been misquoted and the headline of the article shared by Agnihotri was “misleading”
Others, however, slammed the Dev D director for his comments.
Vivek Agnihotri’s The Kashmir Files remains one of the highest-grossing films of 2022. Based on the exodus of Kashmiri Pandits from the Kashmir valley in the 1990s, the movie stars Anupam Kher, Pallavi Joshi, Darshan Kumar and Mithun Chakraborty in pivotal roles.
