Vivek Agnihotri recently spoke about how he has changed now and how that has also changed his ideology and approach to cinema. Although he had identified as a left-winger for several years, in recent years he has been vocal about pro-right-wing political views.

In an interview with an entertainment portal, Vivek said he is not bothered by trolls who dig up his old tweets and accuse him of being a hypocrite. He wants to show his gratitude by sending him a packet of chocolates so he can be sure he is changing.
“If you meet me on Derry Files in 2024 or 2025 and I’m still saying the same thing, I’ll be embarrassed. I can’t live a life where every day remains the same. Every day has changed. It’s a new day.’ I don’t want to live a life without change,” he said.
And the filmmaker said his approach to film has also changed significantly with experience and age. He travels all over India as a filmmaker and this is his first time seeing this country, he said. He realizes that there are many stories that no one has told before, and feels that this is the greatest crime committed by filmmakers in this country.
He further said that Karan Johar and Shah Rukh Khan’s films have damaged the cultural fabric of India in a very disastrous way. He feels it’s important to tell true stories, but he says he stopped doing that after Amitabh Bachchan’s Shehanshah.
