Vivek Agnihotri Asserts Being ‘Totally Boycotted’, Takes A Dig At Karan Johar & SOTY: Nobody Questions…
Vivek Agnihotri Podcast: Filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri has recently criticized the content of recent Bollywood movies, claiming that middle-class audiences cannot relate to them.
He argued that films are failing to attract people to theaters due to their lack of relatability and their over-exposure and vulgar display of physical attitude.
VIVEK AGNIHOTRI ON YOUTH IN BOLLYWOOD FILMS
In a podcast with filmmaker Sudhir Mishra, Agnihotri cited the example of Karan Johar's Student of the Year and questioned whether the youth portrayed in the movie is representative of the youth of the country.
Agnihotri emphasized that the films being made these days do not cater to the concerns of the common man, unlike Manmohan Desai's films, which addressed the issues of middle-class people. He also pointed out that he and Kangana Ranaut are the only ones questioning the practices of the Hindi film industry.
In response, Sudhir Mishra suggested that the audience has become "lazy," which is why they are not watching movies in cinema halls. Agnihotri argued that "Boycott Bollywood" is not fake, and that the films being made these days do not address the real concerns of the audience. He also questioned who the audience for these films is, and whose concerns they are addressing.
VIVEK AGNIHOTRI TOTALLY BOYCOTTED IN FILM INDUSTRY
Agnihotri's criticisms have not been well-received by the film industry, and he claims to have been "totally boycotted" as a result. He has found solace in middle-class audiences, who, according to him, share his concerns. He also mentioned that he has spoken to housewives who are annoyed with the over-exposure and vulgar display of physical attitude in movies.
Agnihotri's opinions on the film industry are not limited to social media, as he has also been questioning people who spoke against his film, The Kashmir Files. He believes that if the establishment does something wrong, it is the right of intellectuals and liberals to question it, and that the film industry is no exception.
On the career front, Vivek is currently busy working on his two projects - The Vaccine War and The Dekhi Files.
