What: Filmmaker Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri recently took to social media to voice his deep concerns over the rampant spread of fake news and the increasingly toxic nature of the online platform.
Furthermore: In a candid post, he expressed his dismay at the prevalence of false information and the negative impact it has on individuals and society. The filmmaker called out a report that reported that he has already won the Box Office battle with pan-India star Prabhas when ‘The Kashmir Files’ emerged as a bigger Box Office success than ‘Radhe Shayam’ in 2022. The report also added that he was planning the same clash with The Vaccine War. Reacting to the report, Vivek took to Twitter and wrote, “Who is spreading such fake news attributing fake quotes to me? I respect Prabhas who is a mega mega star doing mega mega budget films. We make non-starter, small-budget, people’s films. There is no comparison between us.”
We say: The social media is like a giant net of unconfirmed rumours, haters and trollers. One should take everything they say with a pinch of salt.
