Naseeruddin Shah, who has worked with Vivek Agnihotri in his 2019 film ‘The Tashkent Files`, spoke about the success of Gadar 2, The Kerala Story, and The Kashmir Files with the Free Press Journal. In his interview, the actor shared, "Films like Kerala Story and Gadar 2, I haven’t seen them, but I know what they are about. It’s disturbing that films like Kashmir Files are so massively popular whereas movies made by Sudhir Mishra, Anubhav Sinha, and Hansal Mehta, who are trying to portray the truth of their times, don’t get seen."
Now Vivek Agnihotri has hit back at the veteran actor. In an exclusive interview with Zoom, when Vivek was asked how he felt after ‘A Wednesday’ actor’s comment about his film, he said, "I am a great admirer of Naseer sahab that`s why I had cast him in The Tashkent Files. But I don`t know of late why he has grown old, and if that`s the case, then I should not say anything. Sometimes, people are frustrated with a lot of things, or maybe he feels he is getting exposed with the truth of The Kashmir Files; something about him is getting exposed. People generally don`t like being naked in front of people through somebody else`s art. There is something wrong, there is something not right with what Naseer keeps saying."
