Vivek Agnihotri criticizes Anurag Kashyap for a ‘misquoted' headline, Gets rebuked by netizens

Vivek Agnihotri doesn't hold back when expressing his ideas and points of view. The filmmaker always has something to say, whether it is about politics or the film industry. Anurag Kashyap has claimed that Bollywood is headed towards disaster by attempting to imitate movies like Kantara and KGF Chapter 2. Now that Vivek has spoken, it's unfortunate that he cited a piece that blatantly misquoted Anurag. Read on to learn more.

For those who are unaware, a few days ago, Anurag said, "Films like Kantara and Pushpa give you strength to go out and express your stories.

But no matter how successful KGF 2 was, things start to go south when you try to replicate it and launch a project. Bollywood ruined itself by jumping on that bandwagon. Find movies that inspire courage, please. In a constructive approach, the Gangs of Wasseypur filmmaker explained why Bollywood is failing.

Vivek Agnihotri expressed his thoughts on Anurag Kashyap's viewpoints on Twitter, but he also provided a screenshot of an article that blatantly misquoted Anurag. ‘Films like Kantara and Pushpa are ruining the industry: Anurag Kashyap,’ stated the title of the incorrectly quoted article. I disagree with Bollywood's opinion of one & only Milord, Vivek wrote in response to Anurag's statements. Do you concur?

I totally totally totally disagree with the views of Bollywood’s one & only Milord.

As soon as the article was shared, internet users informed Vivek Agnihotri that the headline's quote from Anurag Kashyap was misquoted.

One user said, Read what he stated first. He had praised Kantara, Pushpa, RRR, and others. He claimed that people would only be successful if they duplicated Kantara or Pushpa without creating original stuff. Why is that a problem? Read the entire article rather than relying on a deceptive or click-bait headline, suggested another commenter.
