Vivek Agnihotri says Anurag Kashyap tried to ‘sabotage’ The Kashmir Files

Hindustan Times  

Vivek Agnihotri, the director of The Kashmir Files, has said that fellow filmmaker Anurag Kashyap tried to ‘sabotage’ his film, which released earlier this year. Anurag had recently stated in an interview that he wouldn’t want The Kashmir Files to be India’s official entry for the Oscars. But here the problem with The Kashmir Files is that certain section of Bollywood, media and a whole lot of other places didn't want this film to be made. In a recent interview with Galatta Plus, Anurag Kashyap had said SS Rajamouli’s RRR was the perfect choice to be India’s entry for the Oscars but The Kashmir Files shouldn’t be sent.
