Bollywood filmmakers Anurag Kashyap and Vivek Agnihotri recently engaged in Twitter spat over the former's statement on regional films.

For those unversed, Anurag had said that the success of Nagraj Manjule's Sairat ‘destroyed’ Marathi cinema as everyone wanted to emulate the film with the aim to make money.

He said in an interview, "Films like Kantara and Pushpa give you courage to go out and tell your stories. But KGF 2, however big the success, when you try and emulate that and set a project up, that’s when you start heading towards disaster. That’s the bandwagon that Bollywood destroyed itself on. You have to find films that give you courage."

Reacting to it, Vivek shared a screenshot of a news article about Anurag's statement and wrote and also called him 'Bollywood's one and only Milord'.

"I totally totally totally disagree with the views of Bollywood’s one & only Milord," he tweeted.

What did Anurag say?

However, Anurag was in no mood to ignore the filmmaker's tweet about him. He tweeted, "Sir aapki galti nahin hai, aap ki filmon ki research bhi aisi hi hoti hai jaise aapki mere conversations pe tweet hai. Aapka aur aapki media ka bhi same haal hai. Koi nahin next time thoda serious research kar lena."

Anurag and Vivek's upcoming projects

Meanwhile, on the work front, Anurag's film Dobaaraa, with Taapsee Pannu, received mixed reviews. He has Almost Pyaar With Dj Mohabbat, featuring Alaya F and Karan Mehta.

On the other hand, Vivek's The Kashmir Files has enjoyed critical and commercial success. He recently started the shoot of The Vaccine War.
