Vivek Agnihotri, The director of Kashmir Files is very active on social media and shares his views on different political and film industry-related issues. Recently the filmmaker slammed Aamir Khan for his ad and accused him of hurting Hindu religion and now he took to his social media to criticise Justice Sudhanshu Dhulia verdict on Karnataka Hijab Controversy.
Karnataka Hijab controversy is one of the big issues these days. Justice Sudhanshu Dhulia who gave a verdict against the Hijab ban in Karnataka in the recent split verdict of the Supreme Court has received the ire of a section on social media that also dragged his brother filmmaker Tigmanshu Dhulia to the debate and now filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri saled him for his verdict.
In his judgment, Justice Dhulia said, "By asking the girls to take off their hijab before they enter the school gates, is first an invasion on their privacy, then it is an attack on their dignity, and then ultimately it is a denial to them of secular education” Director Vivek Agnihotri on Friday shared a report of theSwiss government planning to impose a fine of $1,000 on people violating burqa ban. Mocking the Supreme Court judge, Agnihotri wrote he would like to know the views of Justice Dhulia on this "international Islamophobic conspiracy against burqa.”
Speaking of Kashmir Files was made on a budget of ₹15 crore and ended up grossing over ₹350 crore worldwide, largely due to strong word of mouth. The film, directed by Pallavi’s husband Vivek Agnihotri, dealt with the exodus of Kashmiri Pandits from the Valley over 30 years ago. The film beat out several big releases like Ranbir Kapoor’s Shams Hera, Aamir Khan’s Laal Singh Chaddha, and Akshay Kumar’s Samrat Prithviraj in the box office race.
