New Delhi: Vivek Agnihotri and Anurag Kashyap are having a twitter rebuttle. The issue began with 'The Kashmir Files' director Vivek Agnihotri disapproval of Kashyap's views on South films becoming a cause of Bollywood's destruction. Anurag, who is known for being vocal about his thoughts,questioned Vivek's research for his own films, in response.

On Tuesday, Vivek Agnihotri gave a curt reply to Kashyap's remark by referring to him as "Bholenath", and asking the latter to prove his 4 years long research for the film as wrong.

Vivek Agnihotri tweeted, "Bholenath, aap lage haath sabit kar hi do ki #TheKashmirFiles ka 4 saal ka research sab jhooth tha. Girija Tikoo, BK Ganju, Airforce killing, Nadimarg sab jhooth tha. 700 Panditon ke video sab jhooth the. Hindu kabhi mare hi nahin. Aap prove kar do, DOBAARA aisi galti nahin hogi."

The spat between the two directors began after Vivek expressed his disagreement on Kashyap's views about movies like 'Kantara' and 'Pushpa'. In an interview to a Galatta Plus, Kashyap went on to say, "With pan-India, what is happening right now is that everybody is trying to make a pan-India film. Success will be 5-10%. 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."

Vivek replied on a tweet by a media portal that went with the headline: 'Films like Kantara and Pushpa are destroying the industry: Anurag Kashyap'. Vivek reacted to it, saying, “I totally totally totally disagree with the views of Bollywood’s one & only Milord. Do you agree?”

Reacting on Vivek Agnihotri's comment, Anurag Kashyap remarked, "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 .."
