Vivek Agnihotri Slams Ranveer Singh For Dancing Shirtless With 25 Girls

Vivek Agnihotri is massively impressed with the subject of Ranveer Singh-starrer Jayeshbhai Jordaar. However, he didn't like that Singh, "the so-called number one star," danced shirtless with 25 "sexy and glamorous" girls at the film's promotional event. The Kashmir Files director Slamming Singh said, "it's not a fashion show or some comedy film."

"Ranveer Singh, the so-called number 1 star. People don't get tired of praising him. His film Jayeshbhai Jordaar was about female foeticide about how people should not kill girls. What a wonderful subject but then how were they promoting the film?" Agnihotri, whose next film is The Delhi Files, reportedly based on anti-Sikh riots, told Kushal Mehra in an interview. He added, "Ranveer went shirtless and was dancing with 25 girls during the promotions. He was like just dancing with 25 sexy and glamorous girls. Nobody knew that the film was about female foeticide. It's not a fashion show or some comedy film. Why would people go and see that?"

Ranveer Singh's Jayeshbhai Jordaar didn't perform well at the box office. The movie that also starred Arjun Reddy star Shalini Pandey managed to only mint Rs 15.59 crore at the domestic box office.

The Kashmir Files, Vivek's most recent movie, was one of India's most popular post-pandemic releases when it was released in March of this year. It portrayed the 1990s flight of Kashmiri Pandits from the Kashmir Valley. Pallavi Joshi, Mithun Chakraborty, Darshan Kumaar, and Anupam Kher all starred in it.

Vivek revealed the title of his upcoming movie earlier this year: The Delhi Files. Vivek posted a tweet in which he shared a photo of himself. I'd like to thank everyone who owned #TheKashmirFiles. We have worked honestly and sincerely hard for the past four years. I apologize if I bombarded your TL (timeline), but raising awareness of the injustice and atrocities committed against Kashmiri Hindus is critical. It's time for me to start developing a new movie. In a follow-up tweet, he stated, “#TheDelhiFiles.”
