MUMBAI: Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri is a film director, screenwriter, author, and activist. As of 2019, he is a member of the board of India's Central Board of Film Certification. He is a cultural representative of Indian Cinema at the Indian Council for Cultural Relations.

His film Kashmir Files is all set to release next month but the filmmaker is having a hard time right now. Ahead of the release, he is facing all kinds of threats to himself and his family.

Vivek has now launched an attack on film critic Anupama Chopra in his latest tweets. Vivek has been strongly defending ‘The Kashmir Files’ as a section of people call it a ‘propaganda film’.

Vivek’s film is based on the lives of Kashmiri Pandits in Kashmir and is inspired by true events. The film stars Anupam Kher and Mithun Chakraborty in the lead roles. The gut-wrenching trailer took the internet by storm as well.

He took to Twitter and alleged that Film Companion head Anupama Chopra is playing ‘dirty tricks’ in the background to target his movie. Not just that he even called her Shoorpankha.

The filmmaker tweeted, “If you have any guts, sabotage ‘The Kashmir Files’ openly. Please stop playing dirty tricks from the background. Your only qualification is that you are married to a Producer who despite being a KP (Kashmiri Pandit), stabbed KPs in their back.”

Have a look.

Dear @anupamachopra, the Shoorpanakha of Bollywood,
If you have any guts, sabotage #TheKashmirFiles openly. Pl stop playing dirty tricks from the background. Your only qualification is that you are married to a Producer who despite being a KP, stabbed KPs in their back.

For the unaware, Anupama is married to producer Vidhu Vinod Chopra, who also made a film titled ‘Shikara’ on the exodus of Kashmiri Pandits. While the audience expected a true picture of the horrifying incident, Vidhu Vinod Chopra turned it into a love story.

Stay tuned for more news from the entertainment industry.
