Vivek Agnihotri slams Ayan Mukerji and Karan Johar says ‘he can’t even pronounce ‘Brahmastra’
In a recent interview, filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri talked about Ayan Mukerji’s upcoming movie Brahmastra starring Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor. Making fun of him he joked that he can’t even say the title of the movie correctly. Vivek also discussed how Karan Johar frequently mocks the LGBTQ community in his movies.
Vivek Agnihotri recently directed The Kashmir Files, starring Mithun Chakraborty, Anupam Kher, Darshan Kumar, and Pallavi Joshi, which smashed numerous box office records. He also unveiled his upcoming movie, The Delhi Files, which is based on the anti-Sikh riots of 1984, earlier this year.
In a recent interview with Kushal Mehra, Vivek spoke about Ayan Mukerji’s Brahmastra. He said, “Brahmastra, do they even know the meaning of that? And then they are talking about Astra Verse, what is even that? Then you put your director, who can’t even pronounce Brahmastra. He is a wonderful director. I loved his Wake Up Sid and the second film and I wish he made a wonderful film. I am concerned about him like a mother is concerned about their children. I am very disappointed. So these are the problems.”
He added, “They talk about LGBTQ activism but they themselves make fun of it. Why do Karan’s films often make fun of the LGBTQ community? Why? And they talk about activism.”
Directed by Ayan Mukerji, Brahmastra is a three-part fantasy epic. The film stars Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt, Amitabh Bachchan, Prabhastra, Nagarjuna and Mouni Roy. Brahmastra will be released on September 9. The film is produced by Karan Johar, Apoorva Mehta, Namit Malhotra, and Ayan Mukerji, under the production banners- Dharma Productions.
