Filmmakers Vivek Agnihotri and Sudhir Mishra recently engaged in a candid conversation, discussing various topics including film, politics, and their views on the Bollywood industry. The conversation was uploaded on YouTube, revealing Vivek’s belief that only he and actor Kangana Ranaut have questioned Bollywood in recent years.
During their discussion, Vivek asked Sudhir why he doesn’t speak more about Bollywood, citing Kangana Ranaut as an example. Sudhir responded that his entire life has been questioning, but he believes that the film industry is not responsible for all the ills in the world, as it is just a reflection of society.
Kangana Ranaut has been vocal about her opinions on the film industry, recently criticizing the crude and crass nature of Bollywood’s success projections.
Last month, Sudhir tweeted about The Kashmir Files, which led to Vivek inviting him for the podcast. The two filmmakers expressed mutual respect and understanding for each other’s perspectives.
