Vivek Agnihotri recently came out in support of the ongoing writers’ strike in Hollywood. The protest has been going on for over a week now in the US.
Sharing some pictures from the protest, the filmmaker wrote, ‘In Hollywood writers are on a strike. Have you ever seen any filmmaker or a Star of Bollywood ever even mention their writer’s name? Do you even know who are the writers of biggest hits like Pathan or Bhool Bhulaiya or any other hit for that matter? That’s the sad story of Bollywood. But real.’

Reacting to the post, Gulshan Devaiah replied, ‘Dear good sir, don’t remember see you touring with your writers or your excellent research team, while campaigning for your releases. Start the change at home and then society shall follow. I certainly don’t hate him, but I’m an idiot .. always been one (sic).’

A person on Twitter wrote, ‘Who are the writers of your movies?’ A tweet read, “Writers are the most underpaid talent in the industry! And taken for granted the most. A fan also commented, ‘I agree with you. Writers are the backbone of any film industry and they deserve more recognition and respect. Bollywood should learn from Hollywood and value their writers more.’
After the super success of his last venture, ‘The Kashmir Files’, Vivek Agnihotri is currently working on his next, ‘The Vaccine War’. It is all set to hit the theatres on Independence Day 2023 in 11 languages. The film stars Anupam Kher, Nana Patekar, Sapthami Gowda and Pallavi Joshi among others.
