Vivek Agnihotri has frequently taken jibe at Karan Johar, criticizing what he perceives as elitism and disapproving of his approach to filmmaking. Repeatedly, he has left no room for doubt about his aversion to the filmmaker, so the act of cropping him out of these pictures comes as no surprise to his fans. The Vaccine War director has been a huge critic of nepotism in Bollywood film industry and in the past admitted that KJo is the flag bearer of it.

In an old interview, Vivek Agnihotri made his sentiments clear, openly expressing his disapproval for the type of films produced by KJo and SRK. He stated, "After Amitabh Bachchan's emergence as a superstar, not the one from Deewar, but the one from Shehanshah, cinema ceased to tell genuine stories. Particularly, Karan Johar and Shah Rukh Khan's cinema, which, in his view, has had a detrimental impact on India's cultural identity. He believed it was imperative to convey authentic, unvarnished narratives." Was this intentional by the director of The Kashmir Files or accidental? what are your thoughts?
