Vivek Agnihotri, who won the Nargis Dutt Award for Best Film on National Integration for 'The Kashmir Files' at the 69th National Film Awards, shared a photo on Twitter celebrating with the other winners. However, netizens noticed that Karan Johar, who won the Special Jury Award for 'Shershaah', had been cropped out of the photo.
This is not the first time that Agnihotri has expressed his dislike for Johar's films. In a recent interview, he said that he does not like the kind of cinema that Johar and Shah Rukh Khan make, claiming that it has "damaged the cultural fabric of India."
Johar has not commented on Agnihotri's actions.
Netizens have reacted strongly to Agnihotri's decision to crop Johar out of the photo. Some have accused him of being petty and unprofessional, while others have defended his right to express his opinion.
It is unclear why Agnihotri chose to crop Johar out of the photo. However, it is clear that the feud between the two filmmakers is still on.
