Kapil Sharma trolled for not promoting movie on Kashmir

KARACHI: It seems as though there is tension brewing in Bollywood and it revolves around The Kapil Sharma Show. Filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri went on a Twitter spree calling out the host for not promoting his movie or even inviting him to the show. To add to the mix, since the movie is on Kashmir which is a sensitive topic, many fans have taken to social media to demand a boycott of the comedian. Here is all that went down.

The whole saga began when a fan asked the filmmaker to promote his movie ‘The Kashmir Files’ on The Kapil Sharma Show. The movie is about the exodus of Kashmiri Hindus back in the 1990s which is, naturally, a sensitive topic for many. A fan took to Twitter and expressed his desire to see the movie promoted on The Kapil Sharma Show and wrote, “Vivek sir, this film needs to be promoted on Kapil ji’s show.” To which the filmmaker sent out a scathing reply saying, “I don’t get to decide who should be invited on @KapilSharmaK9 show.”

He also went on to claim that he was not invited on the show because his movie does not have a “big commercial star.”

Fans were angry and took to Twitter to call out the comedian. Some demanded a complete boycott:

Some accused him of not being serious about national issues:

Some went out to call The Kapil Sharma Show out as a whole:

Kapil Sharma is yet to respond to the allegations against him.
