Many individuals who responded to his tweet assumed that he was referring to the brand-new Pathaan song Besharam Rang. Someone remarked, “Ssshhhhh!! Dekho Ye (See this). To increase the craze and buzz surrounding #Pathaan, #BesharamRang did it. @iamsrk @yrf Congratulations on owning such a large Chartbuster.”

Some of the participants shared posters for his films Zid, Chocolate, Dhan Dhana Dhan Goal, and Hate Story. Someone who shared the posters said, “Some of the actual originals.” Added one more Twitter user: “You can make movies that do that; you don’t have to express your position on every subject. Too much of anything is terrible. Just a thought.” Well, you too have contributed to some poor originals and poor copies! another tweet was read.
A few Twitter users concurred with Vivek’s viewpoint. Someone observed, “The recipe for a Bollywood hit is old. They are unwilling to learn. Only after spending more money will they begin to learn.” Added another Twitter user: “Always on point. Unambiguous facts!”
The Kashmir Files, Vivek’s most recent film under his direction, tells the story of the early 1990s flight of Kashmiri Pandits from the valley. This year’s film premiered on March 11. One of 2022’s biggest Hindi commercial successes is this one. Anupam Kher, Darshan Kumaar, Mithun Chakraborty, and Pallavi Joshi are among the actors who appear in The Kashmir Files.

Nadav Lapid, chair of the jury at the International Film Festival of India (IFFI), has voiced his criticism of the movie. He referred to the film as “propaganda, filthy.” In response to the remark, Vivek had said in a video, “…if they can prove any single shot, event or dialogue is not completely true, then I will quit filmmaking. Who are these people who stand up against India every time?”
A few days later, Vivek had declared that he will produce The Kashmir Files: Unreported in order to provide the “whole truth” to the public. Speaking on it, Vivek had said, “I have decided that I will bring out the whole truth and its title will be The Kashmir Files Unreported. Aur yeh main isi saal ke andar andar leke aunga, yeh maine aaj drar nishchay karliya hai (I will bring it within this year, I am determined now).”
