Comedian Kapil Sharma has finally responded to the accusation levelled against him by filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri, after being trolled by netizens for not inviting the director on his show due to a lack of a commercial star in his directorial ‘The Kashmir Files’.

Agnihotri recently expressed his disappointment on Twitter after being denied an invitation to Sharma's talk show ‘The Kapil Sharma Show’ to promote his upcoming film ‘The Kashmir Files’, which stars actors Anupam Kher and Mithun Chakraborty among others.

Following a fan's request to see the cast of the film on 'The Kapil Sharma Show', the director wrote, “I don't get to decide who should be invited on @KapilSharmaK9 show. It's his and his producers choice whom he wants to invite. As far as Bollywood is concerned, I'd say what once Mr. Bachchan was quoted saying about Gandhis: Vo raja hai hum rank (sic).”

In response to a fan's question about it, Sharma tweeted, “This is not true Rathore sir you asked that's why you told, what is the use of giving explanation to the rest who have accepted the truth. Just a suggestion as an experienced social media user:- never believe in one sided story in today's social media world dhanyawaad (sic).”

यह सच नहीं है rathore साहब 😊 आपने पूछा इसलिए बता दिया, बाक़ी जिन्होंने सच मान ही लिया उनको explanation देने का क्या फ़ायदा. Just a suggestion as a experienced social media user:- never believe in one sided story in today’s social media world 😊 dhanyawaad 🙏 https://t.co/pJxmf0JlN5

In another tweet previously, Agnihotri had written, “Even I am a fan. But it's a fact that they refused to call us on their show because there is no big star. In Bollywood non-starter Directors, writers and Good actors are considered as NOBODIES (sic).”
