Pathaan controversy: Vivek Agnihotri shares screenshots of death threats received after commenting on Besharam Rang, KRK calls it 'publicity stunt'

Filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri manages to stay in the headlines and controversies always. After getting death threats on social media for calling Pathaan's Besharam Rang a 'bad copy of Instagram reels,' The Kashmir Files director is now being accused of doing a publicity stunt by KRK. 

After thrashing the song, Agnihotri received a lot of backlash on Twitter from movie buffs and Shah Rukh Khan's fans. The filmmaker shared a few screenshots of those tweets and claimed that he has also been receiving death threats. 

KRK, who also couldn't keep away from the controversies, commented on Agnihotri's latest tweet and claimed that just to gain popularity, Agnihotri is sharing the tweets of some very ordinary people and calling them 'death threats.' The Ek Villain actor also mentioned in his latest post that he gets threatened by multiple people in his DM on a regular basis but he chooses to ignore it and not publically share the screenshots of those messages. He also questioned The Tashkent Files director that why he allows people to send DMs to him.

A lot of netizens came in support of KRK's latest post. One of the Twitter users wrote,"Uska movie aaraha hein naa toh yeh vivek limelight mein rehena chahata hein. (Vivek Agnihotri wants to be in limelight right now as his new film is arriving soon in theatres)."

Meanwhile, another shared, " Haagnihotri ko attention chahiye aur kuch nahi. Publicity stunt hai bas ignore Karo. (Agnihotri just needs attention, It's a publicity stunt.)"

Even after a lot of controversies, the makers of the Shah Rukh Khan starrer are stuck with the release date of the film. Pathaan is all set to hit theatres on January 25, 2023.
