Vivek Agnihotri: Rather Than Calling Best Kannada Director, Let’s Start Calling Best Indian Director Of Kannada Language

Taking to his social media, Vivek posted a video in which he can be seen presenting an award to Shankar guru for Kannada-language action-comedy drama film, ‘Badava Rascal’ while he took the mic to add his words to the winning director to call it as Indian debutant director rather saying best debutant director. He further added that we should stop distinguishing Kannada and Telugu, and work as we are all Indian filmmakers.

He further jotted down the caption saying, “It was an honour to give always Best Debut Director award to @dir_shankarguru for #BadavaRascal at #SIIMA2022 ‘Rather than calling as best Kannada/Telugu director, let’s start calling best Indian Director of Kannada language’. This is what I believe. Listen (sic).”

Agnihotri as a director has always presented his views fearlessly in front of the world. While his thought of uniting the film industry and pushing down the approach of regional cinema is quite fair and visionary indeed, he also makes sure to admit it in front of millions with his open heart.
