Vivek tweeted on Thursday, “I came to know that #TheKashmirFiles has been nominated in 7 categories for the 68th Filmfare Awards. I learned this through the media.” So I sincerely decline to participate in these immoral and anti-movie awards. Understand the reason: Except the celebrities, no one has a face, claims Filmfare. It doesn’t matter. In the sycophantic and unethical world of Filmfare, great directors like Sanjay Bhansali or Sooraj Barjatya have no presence. Anees Bazmee resembles Kartik Aaryan, Sooraj resembles Mr. Bachchan, and Sanjay Bhansali resembles Alia Bhatt. The Filmfare Awards do not in any way contribute to a filmmaker’s dignity, but this degrading system must be abolished.
He continued, “I have therefore decided not to accept such prizes as a signal of my protest and dissent against a corrupt, immoral, and sycophantic establishment of Bollywood. I won’t take part in any corrupt or repressive awards or systems that view writers, directors, and other HODs and members of the film crew as second-class citizens or as slaves.
“My congratulations to all those who win and many more to those who do not win,” he stated in a message to those who lost. The good news is that I’m not by myself. A parallel Hindi film industry is gradually but slowly growing. While then… The poet Dushyant Kumar’s lines on rebelling for change were added, along with the hashtag #HumDekhenge (We will see).
In response to his tweet, self-described film critic Kamaal R Khan wrote, “Brother, excellent choice. a courageous choice. I commend you.
The Kashmir Files has received nominations for Best Film, Best Screenplay, Best Actor (Anupam Kher), Best Supporting Actor (Mithun Chakraborty), and Best Actor (Darshan Kumar), in addition to Vivek’s nomination in the category of Best Director. One of the highest-grossing Hindi films of the previous year was it.
