Without mentioning the titles of the films, Vivek Agnihotri stated that he thought Shah Rukh Khan’s most recent productions, Jawan and Pathaan, were merely surface-level.
Without mentioning Jawan or Pathan by name, Vivek Agnihotri expressed his opinions about Shah Rukh Khan’s most recent flicks in an interview with Siddharth Kannan. “I believe his most recent films are very superficial,” he said. He is capable of much more than that. “Han jo bhi aai hai unke films” refers to current releases. Those I’ve watched struck me as being really shallow. They are acceptable as action films, but I disagree that they should be used as a benchmark for filmmaking and that this marks the end of the entertainment industry. I then believe it to be sycophancy. I find that to be problematic. He further stated that Shah Rukh’s supporters had previously harassed him on social media.
Jawan, a movie starring Shah Rukh Khan, debuted on September 7 and quickly became a hit. With the movie currently in its third week, fresh films like Vivek Agnihotri’s The Vaccine War are facing heavy competition. At the domestic box office, it has so far made slightly over 3 crore. On September 28, it was made available in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu.
Earlier, Vivek had lauded Jawan.
When a commenter earlier asked The Kashmir Files director Vivek Agnihotri to “clash with SRK if you have guts,” Agnihotri replied, “We aren’t in Bollywood game and terminology like ‘clash’ etc. are for celebs and media. Jawan, starring SRK, will undoubtedly be a classic hit. But after you see that, please watch our short film about India’s biggest win in a conflict you aren’t familiar with. #TheVaccineWar.” Vivek responded to the Jawan trailer as well and gushed about it on his X account. “Adbhut (amazing). Mind blowing. It has the word “Blockbuster” all over it, he said.
