‘Kapil Sharma refused to call us on his show because The Kashmir Files doesn’t have a big star’, says director Vivek Agnihotri

Director Vivek Agnihotri’s tweet about Kapil Sharma has got the comedian and his well-known show trending on Twitter. In a tweet shared on Saturday, Vivek had asserted that Kapil refused to invite him on his hit show The Kapil Sharma Show to promote his forthcoming film The Kashmir Files. He believes it because there isn’t any big ‘star’ in his film.

A fan tagged Vivek in a tweet, saying that they would love to watch the cast and crew promote the movie on The Kapil Sharma Show. Vivek answered saying, “They refused to call on their show because we don’t have a big commercial star.”

Later on Monday night, Vivek responded to another tweet about the same. “Vivek sir, this film need to promote in @KapilSharmaK9 Kapil ji show. Kapil bhai…Apne sabka sahyog kiya hai…please iss film ko bhi promote kare…ham sab Mithun da, Anupam Kher ko ek sath dekhna chahte hai. Dhanyawad (Kapil, you have supported everyone, please promote this film too. We want to see Mithun (Chakraborty and Anupam Kher together),” the comment read. Vivek responded, “I don’t get to decide who should be invited on @KapilSharmaK9 show. It’s his and his producers choice whom he wants to invite. As far as Bollywood is concerned, I’d say what once Mr. Bachchan was quoted saying about Gandhis: They are kings, we are the poor ones.”
