Vivek Agnihotri claims he’s bankrupt even after The Kashmir Files’ success.
Vivek Agnihotri is presently gearing up for the discharge of his upcoming directorial The Vaccine War. The filmmaker not too long ago claimed that he’s ‘bankrupt’ and talked about making his subsequent movie can be a ‘struggle’.
In a current interview with Hindustan Times, when requested if The Vaccine War can repeat the industrial success of The Kashmir Files, Vivek Agnihotri replied, “I don’t care about all these things. In my mind, Kashmir Files is a commercial success for you, maybe for Zee, for people who really made money. I am one of the beneficiaries, not the major beneficiary. It was the product of Zee.”
He added, “Whatever money I earned, I put into my next film which is The Vaccine War and I am bankrupt as usual. Pallavi and I were discussing that we are broke again. So for the next film, the struggle begins again.”
He additionally opened up on the violence in The Kashmir Files and stated, “I have not created that violence. I have not glorified that violence. I have shown the violence as it took place. There is nothing wrong with showing a war. But showing your children war games all the time, where he is killing everybody and unnecessarily glorifying him, is wrong. Glorifying violence for the sake of violence is wrong. But showing violence and how it took place to kill humanity is perfectly alright.”
He added, “We should be able to draw that line like the kind of violence which is taking place in Bengal under the rule of madam Mamata Banerjee. If somebody shows it, most welcome. But showing violence where somebody is taking a gun or sword and killing everybody, like in typical Bollywood violent films, I think that glorification is not very good.”
The filmmaker is out with a brand new net collection The Kashmir Files Unreported which reveals Kashmiri Pandits sharing their very own tales from the violence and exodus in 1990. The collection was launched on ZEE5 on August 11.
