A war of words on Twitter started between filmmakers Anurag Kashyap and Vivek Agnihotri on whether Kantara is a critically good film or not.

Anurag Kashyap in an interview said, "Films like Kantara and Pushpa are destroying the industry.”

Agnihotri mocked Kashyap as he wrote: "I totally totally totally disagree with the views of Bollywood's one & only Milord. Do you agree?"

The 'Gangs of Wasseypur' director replied by writing: "Sir aapki galti nahin hai, aap ki filmon ki research bhi aisi hi hoti hai jaise aapki mere conversations pe tweet hai.”

Commenting on Agnihotri’s film, The Kashmir Files, the director added, “Aapka aur aapki media ka bhi same haal hai. Koi nahin next time thoda serious research kar lena”.

Agnihotri asked Kashyap in another tweet to prove the four-year research on Kashmir Files was a lie.

He took a jibe at Kashyap’s most recent film, Dobaara, adding, '"Bholenath, aap lage haath sabit kar hi do ki #TheKashmirFiles ka 4 saal ka research sab jhooth tha. Girija Tikoo, BK Ganju, Airforce killing, Nadimarg sab jhooth tha. 700 Panditon ke video sab jhooth the. Hindu kabhi mare hi nahin. Aap prove kar do, DOBAARA aisi galti nahin hogi”.
