Vivek Agnihotri slams Filmfare Awards
Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri replying to a tweet slammed Filmfare awards and talked about the rise of a parallel Hindi film industry.
Making an announcement about Filmfare, Vivek wrote on Twitter on Thursday, “I learned from media that #TheKashmirFiles is nominated in 7 categories for the 68th Filmfare Awards. But I politely refuse to be part of these unethical and anti-cinema awards. Here is why: According to Filmfare, other than the stars, nobody has a face. Nobody matters. That’s why, in the sycophant and unethical world of Filmfare, Master Directors like Sanjay Bhansali or Sooraj Barjatya have no faces. Sanjay Bhansali looks like Alia Bhatt, Sooraj like Mr. Bachchan, and Annes Bazmi like Karthik Aryan. It’s not that a filmmaker’s dignity comes from Filmfare Awards but this humiliating system must end.”
He continued, “Therefore, as my protest and dissent against a corrupt, unethical, and sycophant establishment of Bollywood, I have decided not to accept such awards. I refuse to be part of any oppressive and corrupt system or awards which treats writers, directors, and other HODs & crew members of a film inferior to and/or as slaves to stars.”
