Vivek Agnihotri on Boycotting Ranbir Kapoor, Fight with Anurag Kashyap & Leaving Bollywood |UT EP104

Join us for the 104th episode of Digital Commentary’s Unfolding Talents Podcast featuring Bollywood director Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri — known for films like The Kashmir Files, The Tashkent Files, The Delhi Files, Hate Story, Zid, Junooniyat and more. In this explosive conversation, Vivek shares his thoughts on national security concerns following the Pahalgam incident, and reflects on whether it signals a deeper issue in preparedness. He addresses the backlash around The Kashmir Files, including critics like Anupama Chopra who declined to review it. Vivek voices his concerns about the situation in Bengal, drawing bold parallels to other conflict-prone areas, and discusses the broader cultural shifts in Indian society. He also comments on the current state of Indian journalism, misinformation in mainstream media, and the labels people associate with him—such as pro-BJP, pro-Modi, or politically inclined. In this rare and honest conversation, he speaks on why he makes socio-political films, how he intends to stir public thought, and why he believes in shaking the societal status quo. Vivek also opens up about the Phule’s controversy, his decision to step away from Bollywood, and the challenges he faced while working with Anurag Kashyap. For cinema lovers, he shares how The Tashkent Files was born and what to expect from his upcoming project The Bengal Files, inspired by Lal Bahadur Shastri and the theme of Right to Life. He concludes with strong remarks on international trust dynamics, including his view on U.S. foreign policy and why global security demands firm action. This is an eye-opening podcast you won’t want to miss — a must-watch for anyone curious about the socio-political climate of today’s India.
