War Of Words Continues! Vivek Agnihotri Now Slams Anurag Kashyap's 'Intellectual Dishonesty'
The war of words between Vivek Agnihotri and Anurag Kashyap continues. The tiff that started after Anurag Kashyap said in an interview that he hopes The Kashmir Files isn't sent as India's official entry for Oscars seems to not end anytime soon. In a separate interview, now Kashyap has said that he has not even watched Agnihotri's film because of the difference in ideology. Agnihotri, in turn, has slammed him again on Twitter.?
Anurag Kashyap VS Vivek Agnihotri
The Kashmir Files "captures the pain, suffering, and struggle" of?the Kashmiri?Pandit community in 1990.?
Slamming Kashyap, Vivek wrote on Twitter, "Look at the intellectual dishonesty of these people, they judge and review your film without EVEN SEEING it. The genius filmmaker says #TheKashmirFiles which is about Hindu Genocide is not his ideology. Does this mean his ideology is that of Islamic Terrorists Brotherhood?"
It all started after Kashyap told Galattta Plus, "India might actually have a nomination in the final five if RRR is the film they pick. I don¡¯t know what film anybody is going to pick. I hope not The Kashmir Files.¡±?

In an interview with India Today, Vivek Agnihotri had earlier said, "I don¡¯t have a problem with anybody criticising the film. In every interview, I say I am the greatest fan of SS Rajamouli. Vijayendra ji (Rajamouli¡¯s father and RRR¡¯s writer) is a very dear friend of mine, like an older brother. Any film can go for Oscar, how does it matter."?
He said that Kashyap had tried to sabotage his film, The Kashmir Files, earlier as well.
"It¡¯s the jury, which will decide. So wishing this film (RRR) goes is fine but pinpointing a certain film with which you had problems in the past and you have tried to sabotage it. Now you are running a campaign that it should not go for Oscars is ethically and morally wrong. I make my film very passionately so I can protect them very passionately."
