MUMBAI: Filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri was recently requested by a fan to promote his upcoming film that talks about the exodus of Kashmiri Hindus in the 1990s due to the Kashmir Insurgency. Responding to this, he directed a tweet at Kapil and said that he is nobody to decide if he can promote the film on the show. Vivek claimed that the show refused to promote his film because it didn’t have a ‘commercial star’ in its starcast.
Now, National Award-winning filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri met Prime Minister Narendra Modi. On Saturday, the team of The Kashmir Files got the opportunity to interact with PM Modi and they also received appreciation for their recently-released film.
Vivek had retweeted pictures of The Kashmir Files team with PM Modi and written, "I am so glad for you @AbhishekOfficl you have shown the courage to produce the most challenging truth of Bharat. #TheKashmirFiles screenings in USA proved the changing mood of the world in the leadership of @narendramodi."
Have a look.

After Kapil was slammed online for the same, the comedian had issued a clarification. "Yeh sach nahi hai Rathore sahab aapne pucha isliye bata diya, baaki jinhone sach maan hi liya unko explanation dene ka kya fayada. ("This is not true Rathore sir you asked that's why told you, rest what is the point of giving explanation to those who have accepted the truth) Just a suggestion as an experienced social media user - never believe in one sided story in today's social media world," read his tweet.
Vivek started his career with advertorial agencies and moved to producing and directing tele-serials. He debuted in Bollywood with the crime thriller Chocolate (2005) and has directed multiple films since.
