Update:
Renowned
for
directing
socially
relevant
films
such
as
Hazaaron
Khwaishein
Aisi,
Chameli,
and
Yeh
Saali
Zindagi,
filmmaker
Sudhir
Mishra
is
eagerly
awaiting
the
release
of
his
next
project,
Afwaah.
A
social
thriller
starring
Nawazuddin
Siddiqui,
Bhumi
Pednekar,
and
Sumeet
Vyas
in
the
leading
roles,
the
film
is
scheduled
to
hit
theaters
on
May
5.
In
a
recent
tweet,
Sudhir
commented
that
the
same
liberals
who
criticize
Vivek
Agnihotri's
The
Kashmir
Files
for
its
political
stance
never
show
up
to
support
their
films.
SUDHIR
MISHRA
ON
LIBERAL
WHO
COMPLAIN
ABOUT
THE
KASHMIR
FILES
He
wrote,
"Liberals
complain
about
Kashmir
Files.
Why?
Vivek
Agnihotri
made
a
film
and
his
audience
came
to
theatres
and
saw
it.
But
when
we
make
films
our
audience
who
criticise
Vivek
sit
on
their
arse
and
don't
come
to
the
theatre.
Sorry,
I
had
to
say
it
#afwaah"
In
response,
Vivek
Agnihotri,
who
is
preparing
for
his
next,
The
Vaccine
War,
replied
to
Mishra's
post
and
posed
a
question:
"Who
is
a
liberal?" Vivek
also
extended
an
invitation
to
Sudhir
for
an
open
discussion.
VIVEK
AGNIHOTRI
QUESTIONS
SUDHIR
MISHRA
His
tweet
read,
"Who
is
a
liberal?
Those
who
make
films
against
terrorism
or
the
ones
who
defend/
support
terrorism
through
their
art?
Or
ones
who
keep
quiet?
I
think
there
should
be
an
open
debate
on
this
but
I
don't
know
if
any
liberal
is
ready
for
it.
If
you
like
I
can
do
a
podcast
with
you."
The
Vaccine
War
is
a
film
that
chronicles
India's
battle
against
Covid-19
and
boasts
an
impressive
cast
that
includes
Anupam
Kher,
Nana
Patekar,
and
Sapthami
Gowda.
The
movie
will
hit
theaters
in
eleven
different
languages
on
Independence
Day
2023,
where
it
will
contend
with
Ranbir
Kapoor's
Animal
and
Sunny
Deol's
Gadar
2,
both
of
which
are
scheduled
to
release
on
August
11.
