Recently, director Vivek Agnihotri expressed his disappointment over comedian Kapil Sharma not being invited to ‘The Kapil Sharma Show’ to promote ‘The Kashmir Files’.
After a fan expressed his desire to see the cast of the much-awaited film on the chat show, Vivek Agnihotri tweeted, “I don’t get to decide who should be invited Display. It is his and his producers’ choice as to who he wants to invite. As far as Bollywood is concerned, I will say what Mr. Bachchan once said about the Gandhi family: Woh Raja Hain Hum Rank…”
