On the work front, after 'The Kashmir Files' director next film is 'The Vaccine War' which will be released in 11 languages on August 15, 2023 under I Am Buddha Productions.
Filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri took his Twitter account to express his views about the period shows. While Vivek added a disclaimer to his tweet that he wasn't talking about any particular film or show but simply sharing general observations, many started comparing his tweet with recently released 'Jubilee' that stars Aparshakti Khurana, Sidhant Gupta, Aditi Rao Hydari and others and is based in 1950s Mumbai.
He wrote, “Why is it that the moment Bollywood makes period stories, they become slow, lethargic and lifeless. Even in that period people found their lives very busy like we find today’s life. And why everyone is always dressed up in retro fashion of today not of that period? Why cant we make period where everyone acts normal and not like they are burdened with doing period.”
He added, “And why Bollywood’s period stuff can’t be made without old gramophone, trams, kotha, curly hair and speaking dialogues as if everyone is hungover or stoned. Is it because they are trying to impress critics and their peers rather than engaging the audience?” Jubilee does indeed have kothas, gramophones, trams and men in curly hair.
His disclaimer also read, “General observations as a viewer, not about any particular film/web series/TV.”
Jubilee is co-created by Vikramaditya and Soumik Sen and also stars Wamiqa Gabbi, Prosenjit Chatterjee, and Nandish Sandhu.
