Anupam Kher has said that he was approached to appear on The Kapil Sharma Show but declined because his film, The Kashmir Files, deals with a serious subject. After the film’s director, Vivek Agnihotri, alleged that the team from The Kashmir Files was not invited to the comedian’s show, Kapil Sharma became engaged in controversy. However, Anupam and Vivek both stated in an interview that Kapil had no ill feelings toward the film or them. In a tweet, Kapil thanked Anupam for the clarification.
Kapil tweeted, “Thank you paji @AnupamPKher for clarifying all the false allegations against me. Aur un sab dosto ka bhi shukriya jinhone bina sach jaane mujhe itni mohabbat di. Khush rahiye, muskurate rahiye (And thanks to those who were on my side even without knowing the whole truth. Keep smiling.)”
The feud began after Vivek alleged last week that Kapil had refused to invite him to promote his film The Kashmir Files on his show, The Kapil Sharma Show. “They declined to call on their show because we don’t have a huge commercial star,” Vivek remarked when a fan expressed interest in seeing the film’s team on the show. Following Vivek’s comment, a number of Twitter users demanded that Kapil and his show be boycotted.
Anupam has now claimed in an interview, “To be very honest I must say it here I was called to be on the show. Maine Harman, jo mere manager hai, usko kaha tha ki ‘Ye film bari serious hai, main isme nahi ja sakta hun (I had told Harman, my manager, ‘This film is very serious, I can’t go on the show)’. So I want to put my point over here. It happened around two months ago that I was told ‘Aap aa jaiye (Please come)’. I have been on the show a few times and it’s a funny show. It’s very difficult to do a funny show and he does it very well. I don’t think Kapil has any malice towards us or towards the film.”
Kapil was also questioned by a fan as to why he was ‘afraid of promoting The Kashmir Files.’ In his defence, Kapil stated: “Yeh sach nahi hai rathore sahab aapne pucha isliye bata dia, baki jinhone sach maan hi liya unko explanation dene ka kya fayda (This is not true, I have replied because you asked me about it, but those who have already accepted it to be true, there is no use in giving them an explanation). Just a suggestion as an experienced social media user: – never believe in one-sided stories in today’s social media world. Dhanyawaad.”
The Kashmir Files is based on the expulsion of Kashmiri pandits and stars Anupam Kher, Mithun Chakraborty, Darshan Kumar, and Pallavi Joshi. The film was released on March 11th.
