Vivek Agnihotri responds to Prakash Raj’s criticism of The Kashmir Files, calls him ‘urban naxal’

Filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri on Thursday referred to actor Prakash Raj as an ‘urban naxal’. He was reacting to Prakash Raj’s criticism of “The Kashmir Files” at the Mathrubhumi International Festival of Letters in Kerala.

Speaking at the event, Prakash Raj opined that The Kashmir Files is a nonsense movie. “The Kashmir Files is one of the nonsense films, but we know who produced it. Shameless. International jury spit on them. The other fellow, the director is still telling, ‘Why I am not getting Oscar?’ He will not even get a Bhaskar,” Raj said.

Reacting to his statement, Agnihotri tweeted “A small, people’s film #TheKashmirFiles has given sleepless nights to #UrbanNaxals so much that one of their Pidi is troubled even after one year, calling its viewer’s barking dogs. And Mr. Andhkaar Raj, how can I get Bhaskar, she/he is all yours. Forever.”
