Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri often pours his thoughts on social media and his recent tweet is aimed at Bollywood. Lauding the success of films like ‘The Kashmir Files’ and ‘Kantara’, the filmmaker took a dig at Bollywood filmmaker for spending money on stars, marketing and distribution.
“4 small films with no stars, no marketing or distribution support - #TheKashmirFiles, #Kartikeya2, #Kantara & #Rocketry earned approx 800 Cr at BO. Total cost of production of 4 films under 75 cr. Is Bollywood blind, deaf & dumb that they don’t understand simple Maths and learn?” wrote Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri while tagging Rishab Shetty and R Madhavan among others.
Internet users were divided over Vivek’s tweet. Pointing out a few big names from the movies mentioned by Vivek, a user tweeted, “saying Rocketry didnt had star is false...Madhavan is a huge star down south and the Tamil and Hindi version had Suriya and SRK as guest appearances.” While another user wrote, “Sir , @AnupamPKher @DarshanKumaar #mithunda all are stars. U r now spreading hate and negativity around. Be humble.” While agreeing with Vivek, one Twitter user replied, “The taste of people is changing. People are appreciating good topics with talented artists rather than movies with startkids who can't even speak hindi properly...”
Post the massive success of ‘The Kashmir Files’, Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri had announced ‘The Delhi Files’.
