Anupam Kher, who plays a key role in the film, has now made a statement rebutting the rumour.
The latest controversy surrounding ‘The Kapil Sharma Show,’ which arose from a tweet by ‘The Kashmir Files’ director Vivek Agnihotri, sparked a significant response against the comedy show, with Twitterati calling for a boycott.
Anupam Kher, who plays a pivotal role in the film, has now issued a statement clearing the misconception.
The actor stated that he was asked to the show, but due to the serious subject matter of the film, he declined because the show is a comedy and it was not the appropriate platform to discuss the film.
“To be honest, I was called to appear on the show aur maine mere manager to kaha tha ki yeh film badi serious hai, main iss mein nahi jaa sakta (I told my management that this film is about a serious matter thus I couldn’t go to the show),” Anupam Kher stated. So, I’d like to make the point that yeh 2 mahine pehle ki baat hai (This happened two months ago).”
He went on to say, “Toh mujhe laga ki main jab bhi 2-4 baar uss show mein jaa chukka (I have been to the show about 2-4 times), it’s a funny show and it’s very difficult to do a funny show and he does it very well.”
It all began when Vivek Agnihotri was questioned why he isn’t advertising the picture on ‘The Kapil Sharma Show,’ to which he replied that he wasn’t invited since his film lacks a large cast.
From there, things got a lot worse, and a lot of people on the internet started boycotting the event.
“I don’t think Kapil has any enmity toward us or the film,” the elder actor added, clarifying his position. To be completely honest, I don’t believe that is the case.”
‘The Kashmir Files,’ which also stars Darshan Kumaar and Pallavi Joshi and is set in the 1990s, is about the enormous flight of Kashmiri Pandits from the valley.
