In the video, the director is seen talking on the phone as he went around the city on foot, surrounded by security personnel and vehicles following him. He captioned the video, ‘The price one has to pay to show the Genocide of Hindus in Kashmir. In a Hindu majority country. Freedom of expression, ha! #ImprisonedInOwnCountry #Fatwa.’
As soon as he shared the video, comments started pouring in from all sides. While one of the Twitter users wrote, ‘Oh my tax money’, another one added, ‘What a waste of taxpayer’s money!’. One user also commented, ‘Humare tax ke paise se security le rahe hain, apni movie tax free karke’. Some netizens also slammed the filmmaker for showing off his security cover.
Vivek Agnihotri was granted Y-category security cover after the release of his film, ‘The Kashmir Files’ earlier this year. The film, which starred Anupam Kher, Mithun Chakraborty, Darshan Kumar, Pallavi Joshi and others, did record-breaking collections at the box office.
On the work front, the director has started shooting for his next, ‘The Vaccine War’. It is scheduled to hit theatres in 11 languages on the occasion of Independence Day next year.
