Thanks to The Kashmir Files, director Vivek Agnihotri shot to super fame, and audiences across the languages started to search for him. He has hit the bull’s eye with the film and the film has crossed the massive 200 crore mark. The likes of maverick director Ram Gopal Varma are talking about him highly.
However, the director had landed in an unwanted controversy as he had allegedly said that people see Bhopali as ‘homosexuals’. He has been facing the music from all the corners due to his comments and even the politicians are lashing out at them.
Veteran Congress leader Digvijaya Singh, who earlier served as the Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh had lashed out at the director and took a dig at him and said that maybe it is the personal experience of the director.
In a tweet, the Congress leader said that he has been associated with Bhopal and the people there for many decades and the comments made by the filmmaker are not acceptable. Expressing his unhappiness on this, Mr. Singh said that no matter where you stay, the company of whom he has will have an impact.
“It is not what common Bhopal residents feel. I am associated with Bhopal and Bhopal residents since 1977 and this is not what I feel to be right. Wherever you stay, there’s always an influence of the company you keep,” Digvijaya Singh’s tweet loosely translates to English.
