Director Vivek Agnihotri on Twitter reacted to filmmaker Anurag Kashyap's recent comment after PM Narendra Modi's warning to party workers to avoid 'unnecessary comments' on films.

Filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri took to Twitter and reacted to Anurag Kashyap's recent 'mob is out of control now' comment. Anurag said those words after Prime Minister Narendra Modi advised the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) workers to stop commenting on films. Anurag had said that the PM is too late.

Vivek Agnihotri has responded to Anurag Kashyap's recent comment.

Sharing a news article on Anurag Kashyap's words, The Kashmir Files director who is often seen at loggerheads with the DevD director, tweeted, “Audience is ‘mob’ now? Wow! Wow! Wow!”

Recently, PM Modi, on the second day of the BJP's national executive meeting, suggested that unnecessary remarks on irrelevant issues such as movies put the party's development agenda on the backburner, reported news agency PTI.

Responding to it, PTI quoted Anurag saying, "If he had said this four years ago, it would have made a difference. Now, I don't think it'll make a difference. It was about controlling their own people. Things have gone out of hand now. I don't think anybody will listen to anyone. He was at the trailer launch of his upcoming movie Almost Pyaar with DJ Mohabbat, starring Alaya F.

Meanwhile, filmmaker Ashoke Pandit, the president of the Indian Film and Television Directors’ Association (IFTDA), came out in support of PM Modi's statement to the BJP party workers. He told Indian Express, “If the PM snubs his own people and tells them to shut up and not talk nonsense against the film industry, which is not their area, for mere publicity, it is a big boost of confidence for the industry. That the PM of the country is with you. The signal goes to not only the politicians, but even people from the media, our own industry itself.”
