Filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri’s latest directorial The Kashmir Files is on course to be a blockbuster at the box office. 

The film has already collected over Rs 60 crore in just 5 days of its release and will most probably hit Rs 100 crore in week one of its release. 

Amid the unprecedented success of the film, a video has surfaced online of director Vivek Agnihotri when he visited Bhagyalakshmi Temple in Hyderabad, a couple of days before the release.

In the video, Vivek is seen answering media questions when he gets into a bit of an altercation with the police. The filmmaker is seen asking the cops to not push him and stop the media instead. 

Vivek asks the police officer, “Sir, main ek filmmaker hoon. Media se mera vaasta hai aap mujhe kyun mana kar rahe hain yahaan? Baat kyun nahin kar sakta unse main aap kaaran bata dijiye main chala jaunga. (Sir, I am a filmmaker hence I am interacting with the media. Why are you stopping me from doing so? Give me the reason why can’t I talk to press, I will leave.)”

The cop then responds saying that this is not the place for a press conference, it’s a temple premise.

Vivek replies, “Toh aap inko mana kijiye mujhe kyun aap dhakka de rahe hain? Why are you pushing me? Unko hataiye. Aap media ko hataiye na. Agar law and order ka problem hai toh unhein rokiye mujhe kyun rok rahe hain? (So, you should stop the media. Why are you pushing me? If there is a law & order situation, you should stop the media and not me.)”
