Vivek Agnihotri calls Prakash Raj an ‘urban Naxal’ for criticising ‘The Kashmir Files’ – Times of India

Slamming the film, Prakash Raj had said, “The Kashmir Files is one of the nonsense films, but we know who produced it. Shameless. International jury spit on them. They are still shameless. The other fellow, the director is still telling, ‘Why I am not getting Oscar?’ He will not even get a Bhaskar.” Reacting to the same, ‘The Kashmir Files’ director, Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri tweeted, “A small, people’s film #TheKashmirFiles has given sleepless nights to #UrbanNaxals so much that one of their Pidi is troubled even after one year, calling its viewer’s barking dogs. And Mr. Andhkaar Raj, how can I get Bhaskar, she/he is all yours. Forever.”

Directed by Vivek Agnihotri, ‘The Kashmir Files’ emerged as one of the highest earning films of 2022, having earned Rs 246 crore nett. The film narrated the story of Kashmiri Hindus’ exodus from Kashmir in the 1990s and featured Anupam Kher, Mithun Chakraborty, Pallavi Joshi and Darshan Kumar among others. Vivek recently announced the wrap of his next film, ‘The Vaccine War’.
