Currently, Taapsee Pannu is promoting Anurag Kashyap upcoming movie Do Baara. This week, the futuristic horror movie is anticipated to hit theatres. Prior to that, the director provided honest answers to questions concerning the state of Indian cinema during one of the promotional interviews. He also stated in the same interview that a movie like RRR ought to be nominated for an Oscar. Rather than a movie like Vivek Agnihotri’s The Kashmir Files.

Vivek Agnihotri, the director of The Kashmir Files, and Kashyap were not pleased with this remark and responded to it on social media. In an interview, Anurag Kashyap talked RRR and how the Ram Charan, Junior NTR film is seen in the West. “The West sees RRR differently than how we see it, and they’ve loved RRR. If RRR becomes the India selection, 99% it might get nominated for the Academy Award. That is the impact that RRR has had in the world of Hollywood. India might actually have a nomination in the final five, if RRR is the film that we pick. I don’t know what film anybody is going to pick. I hope not Kashmir Files,” he said.

A somewhat incensed Vivek Agnihotri tweeted a picture of the article comparing RRR and The Kashmir Files after Anurag had mentioned his movie. Along with the caption, “IMPORTANT: The vicious, GENOCIDE-DENIER lobby of Bollywood has started their campaign against #TheKashmirFiles for #Oscars, under the leadership of the maker of #Dobaaraa.”
