Kunal Kamra's dig at The Kashmir Files director Vivek Agnihotri backfired at him and he received massive backlash from Twitter users. See reactions here.

The Kashmir Files starring veteran actor Anupam Kher has earned a total of Rs 200.13 crore at the Box Office, becoming the highest-grossing Hindi film in the post-pandemic era. The hard-hitting drama, which revolves around the genocide of Kashmiri Pandits in 1990, also stars Pallavi Joshi, Mithun Chakraborty, Darshan Kumaar, Puneet Issar, Mrinal Kulkarni and others.

Like many people who have pointed out that the profits from The Kashmir Files should be donated, comedian Kunal Kamra shared similar views on Twitter while taking a dig at the film’s director Vivek Agnihotri.

Taking to Twitter, Kunal Kamra shared a meme video where Vivek Agnihotri could be seen responding to a question about donating the earnings of the movie. When the director was asked at a press conference whether the profits of the film will be donated to Kashmiri Pandits, he replied saying, “Kamai hogi toh baat karenge (Let it earn profit first, we will talk then).”

To this, the reporter who asked him the question said, “Kamai toh bohot saari ho rahi thi. (But the film is making a lot of money)” However, Vivek Agnihotri countered the journalist saying, “Abhi aapko aisa lag raha hai. Vo galat-faimi hai aapki. (That’s what you think right now. It’s your misunderstanding.)”

After showing this short clip, Vivek Agnihotri’s face was put in place of Raj Kapoor’s from the song ‘Mana Apni Jeb Se Fakir Hai’ from the 1959 film Anari. Then the video shows a snap of the film’s 200 crore box office collection and ends with a ‘Cheating karta hai tu’ – pointed at Vivek Agnihotri that he was lying about the film not making much profits.

Kunal Kamra tweeted the video with a dig a Vivek Agnihotri saying, “Desh ke liye jaan dene ke liye ready hai par desh ke logo ko paise dene ke liye nahi…” The video has received 322K views.

Produced by Zee Studios, “The Kashmir Files” depicts the exodus of Kashmiri Hindus from the Kashmir Valley following systematic killings of people from the community by Pakistan-backed terrorists.

Several BJP-ruled states, including Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat, have exempted the film from entertainment tax. Meanwhile, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said the BJP MLAs demanding ‘The Kashmir Files’ be made tax-free in the national capital should upload the movie on YouTube and make it free for all.
