Vivek replied back, “Thanks for having so much faith in me. Par saari films mujhse hi banwaoge kya yaar? Tumhari ‘Team India’ mein koi ‘man enough’ filmmaker nahin hai kya".
Talking about the Manipur violence, two women were being paraded naked by a mob, dragged to a field and later allegedly gang-raped. It took place in the state on May 4, a day after clashes broke out between the valley-majority Meitei and the hill-majority Kuki tribe over the Meiteis' demand for Scheduled Tribes status. The video of the horrific incident went viral on social media. Only after more than two and half months, the case was registered. Several celebs like Akshay Kumar, Kiara Advani, Sonu Sood and Vivek Agnihotri and others also condemned this heinous crime.
