Anurag Kashyap and Vivek Agnihotri
Indian filmmaker Anurag Kashyap, who is known for films like ‘Black Friday’, Gangs of Wasseypur’, ‘Ugly’, and others, has slammed fellow director Vivek Agnihotri for his alleged lies. The Kashmir Files maker claimed that Kashyap was drunk during the making of Dhan Dhana Dhan Goal and would cause ruckus on set. However, Kashyap called him a liar and said that he was never on set during the shoot of the film.
Anurag Kashyap slams Vivek Agnihotri
On Wednesday, Anurag took to the Stories section of his Instagram, and shared an interview in which Vivek called him a drunkard and an irresponsible artiste.
Pointing his guns at Vivek, Anurag wrote, “Kitna jhootha hai ye aadmi. Shooting London mein hui thi (This man is such a liar. The shooting of the film took place in London). I was in india. He didn't want the script by motwane or me. He wanted to make Lagaan of football and took his own writer to write that crappy script. Neither me nor @motwayne Went on the set ever. Stop posturing @vivekagnihotri (sic)”
The film in question is ‘Dhan Dhana Dhan Goal’, which starred John Abraham and Arshad Warsi. While Anurag is credited as the dialogue writer in the film along with Rohit Malhotra, Vikramaditya Motwane has penned the screenplay for the film. Rohit shares the credit for screenplay and dialogues.
Vikramaditya Motwane also re-shared Kashyap's Instagram story indicating that he agrees with him.
What did Vivek Agnihotri say
A week ago, in an interview with Digital Commentary, Vivek claimed Anurag’s drinking habits made working environment on Dhan Dhana Dhan Goal challenging.
"Anurag uss time bahut sharab peeta tha toh usko time ka koi hisaab nahi tha (Anurag used to drink a lot at that time and had no sense of time). Phir voh Vikramaditya Motwane ko le aaye, bola mera RK ladka hai, vo help karega. Dheere dheere saara kaam Vikramaditya ko hi de diya. Main jo banana chah raha tha, yeh log ki soch kuch alag thi, yeh kuch aur hi banana chah rahe the (Then he brought Vikramaditya Motwane, saying ‘he’s my RK boy, he’ll help out.’ Gradually, all the work was handed over to Vikramaditya. What I wanted to make was different; their vision was entirely something else). Ultimately, we were at loggerheads. The production house had a word with Anurag… Anurag ko handle karna mushkil ho gaya (It became difficult to handle Anurag). Because only an alcoholic knows what an alcoholic goes through. It became a very big problem.”
