‘I don't drink like Anurag Kashyap, I'm wiser than Anubhav Sinha': Vivek Agnihotri strikes down comparisons
Director Vivek Agnihotri has made a name for himself with his highly polarising and controversial brand of filmmaking. The first two movies of his 'Files' trilogy, The Tashkent Files and The Kashmir Files, divided audiences and were branded by some of them as propaganda. In a recent interview, Vivek shut down comparisons with his contemporaries, like Anurag Kashyap and Anubhav Sinha, while making another comment about Kashyap's supposed 'drinking-problem.' While making an appearance on Shubhankar Mishra's podcast, Vivek defended his choice of films, and cited reasons behind why he felt compelled to make them. When the host told him that many people consider him to be the 'right-wing Anurag Kashyap', Vivek was swift to strike down the comparison. He said, 'I don't drink like him, though.' He added, 'People who like Anurag and watch his films only focus on the fault lines of this country. I focus on the greatness of this nation.' He said that he wasn't playing into any propaganda, and the decision behind making the trilogy was his own. ALSO READ: 'Is Deepika Padukone dumb?': Vivek Agnihotri says she was misled by her PR, 'had no idea' what she was getting into He said, 'This was my choice, the trilogy, and I decided to make these movies back in 2010. There have been several documentaries made on the Gujarat riots. People have already talked about it, and there is nothing new to bring to the screen.' He also distanced himself from another fellow director, Anubhav Sinha. The host told Vivek that when Anubhav made an appearance on the podcast, he told him that he would not be willing to work with Kangana Ranaut because of their ideological differences. Anubhav said, 'Agar aadmi hi na pasand ho, toh kaam kaise kare (If you don't like the person, you can't work with them).' To this, Vivek said that there are a lot of people who he works with who don't necessarily align with his ideals or beliefs, but they are professional enough to put their differences aside, and so is he. He stated, 'That is Anubhav's own thinking; I am too wise for that. I can draw that line between the people I am working with. I don't have any personal conversations with the people that I am working with, and many of the people in my movies don't believe in the same ideologies that I do. So many people in the Bengal Files are themselves Bengali, but I work with national award-winning actors who are professional enough to get the job done.' The final instalment of the trilogy, The Bengal Files, is all set to release on September 5. The cast of the film includes Darshan Kumaar, Mithun Chakraborty, Anupam Kher, Pallavi Joshi, Dibyendu Bhattacharya and Saswata Chatterjee. This time the theme for the film is around the 'right to life'. The Tashkent Files was centred around the 'right to truth', while the Kashmir Files explored the 'right to justice'. This isn't the first time that Vivek has taken a dig at Anurag's supposed drinking problem. He told Digital Commentary recently, 'Anurag was a heavy drinker back then, and he couldn't be trusted. He brought Vikram Motwane on board, who is a very talented guy. He told me, 'Mera naya ladka hai woh kaam karega'.' Anurag responded on Instagram, calling him a 'liar'. They worked together on the film Dhan Dhana Dhan Goal.

'Usko manjoor nahi tha ki..' This actress left her boyfriend a year before her death, broke up due to..., her name was...
Usko manjoor nahi tha ki..' This actress left her boyfriend a year before her death, broke up due to..., her name was... For several years, there's been endless rumours and gossips about Kabir Bedi and Parveen Babi's relationship, and why they broke up suddenly. While, many villainised Bedi as he walked away, the actor once opened up and revealed his side of the story. Kabir revealed that when they went to London, he observed Parveen wasn't keeping well mentally, and persuaded her to seek help. Well, it was the major reason why she left him, and refused to heed his advice. While talking to Digital Commentary, Kabir was quoted saying, 'Vo toh isliye humare relationship ki khatam hui kyunki jab Italy ke baad hum London aaye mai ne dekha uski condition kharab ho rahi hai. Aur usko yeh manjoor nahi tha, jab ki mai janta tha ki agar vo treatment nahi legi toh haal bigadta jayega. Or is baat pe huamri separation hogayi.' The actor also revealed how he was accused for their breakup, with many claiming the reason was Parveen's mental instability. Defending himself at that time, Kabir said, 'I was demonised but I thought that I could either clear up the misunderstanding and make her look bad or just keep quiet and let her get the sympathy and get the roles so that she can reestablish herself and her career. I spoke about it five years later at the Filmfare.' Kabir also recalled meeting Parveen just a year prior her death, 'I met her a year before she passed away. She was laying beside the pool, sunning herself and she said, 'Oh, Kabir.' She was embarassed to see me, she had changed a lot. She told me, 'I'm fine but people think I'm mad.' I told her, 'You have made accusations against people and naturally they will have an opinion.' She looked at me and said, 'You also think I'm mad. You are one of them. I don't want to see you again. Please leave.' I wished her well and left. I was sorry to see her in that state. But she had a flat and she was looked after, she was working as an interior designer.' Kabir concluded by saying that he always cared for her and wanted her to seek help. But, her fear of losing out on work and other opportunities, was the major issue, hence his attempts failed to support her.
