Here’s how netizens are expressing their anger against Kapil Sharma:
For the unversed, Vivek Agnihotri was recently requested by a fan to promote his upcoming film The Kashmir Files on The Kapil Sharma Show. To this, the filmmaker replied back claiming the makers of the show refused to promote his film because it didn’t have a ‘commercial star’ in it. “They refused to call us on their show because we don’t have big commercial star. #FACT,” he wrote.
In another Tweet, Vivek Agnihotri also mentioned that he is nobody to decide if his film should be promoted on The Kapil Sharma Show or not. “I don’t get to decide who should be invited on @KapilSharmaK9 show. It’s his and his producer’s choice whom he wants to invite. As far as Bollywood is concerned, I’d say what once Mr. Bachchan was quoted saying about Gandhis: Vo raja hai hum rank,” the Tweet read.
The Kashmir Files is based on the exodus of Kashmiri Hindus in the 1990s due to the Kashmir Insurgency. The film will be released on 11 March 2022.
