New Delhi: Director of 'The Kashmir Files' Vivek Agnihotri recently referred to Anurag Kashyap as "Bollywood's one and only Milord," and the filmmaker has now responded to him on Twitter. 

“Sir aapki galti nahin hai, aap ki filmon ki research bhi aisi hi hoti hai jaise aapki mere conversations pe tweet hai. Aapka aur aapki media ka bhi same haal hai. Koi nahin next time thoda serious research kar lena (Sir, It's not your fault. Your film study was carried out in the same manner as your tweets about our interactions. You are the same as your media. No worries, next time, do a thorough search),” Anurag wrote.

In a recent interview with a publication, Kashyap discussed the influence of movies like 'Pushpa' and 'Kantara' on the business. To respond to his fellow director's statement, Vivek Agnihotri took to Twitter.

In a round-table conversation, Anurag Kashyap talked about how the popularity of Nagraj Manjule's 'Sairat' "destroyed" Marathi cinema since everyone wanted to make money off of it. In 2016, Sairat was released and emerged as one of the most profitable Marathi movies.

"Films like Kantara and Pushpa give you courage to go out and tell your stories. But KGF 2, however big the success, when you try and emulate that and set a project up, that’s when you start heading towards disaster. That’s the bandwagon that Bollywood destroyed itself on. You have to find films that give you courage,” Anurag Kashyap told  Galatta Plus during the interview.

'Dobaaraa', starring Taapsee Pannu, was Anurag's most recent movie to be released. The director's upcoming movie, 'Almost Pyaar With Dj Mohabbat', which stars Alaya F and Karan Mehta and had its world premiere at the Marrakech Film Festival, is set to hit theatres next month.

The production of Vivek Agnihotri's upcoming film, 'The Vaccine War', has already begun.
