“Next time, please research a bit more seriously”. Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap slammed his contemporary Vivek Agnihotri over his remark on the changing consumption pattern of the audience in India.
On Tuesday, Vivek Agnihotri took to Twitter to post a screenshot with the headline, “Films like Kantara and Pushpa are destroying the industry: Anurag Kashyap”. He went on to say, “I totally totally totally disagree with the views of Bollywood’s one & only Milord. Do you agree?” Kashyap replied, “Sir, it’s not your mistake. You research for your films in the same manner you tweet about my conversations. You and your media are exactly the same. No worries, next time please research a bit more seriously.”
Aa per the clip from the roundtable conversation hosted by The Galatta Plus last week, Anurag Kashyap said that Marathi cinema is in the intent to copy Sairaat which emerged as a box office success for monetary advancement.
“With pan-India what is happening right now is that everybody is trying to do that. But the success will be 5 to 10 per cent. A movie like Kantara and Pushpa gives you courage to go out and tell your story.”
“But KGF 2, whatever big the success, when you try to emulate that and set a project up, that’s when it starts heading for a disaster. This is a bandwagon that Bollywood destroyed itself on. So you have to find films that give you courage,” the filmmaker averred.
The roundtable involved filmmakers and actors including Karan Johar, Dulquer Salman, Varun Dhawan, Pooja Hegde and Karthi.
