Vivek Agnihotri FIRES A Lead Actor From His Film Due To His ‘Arrogant’ Manager: ‘These Middlemen Destroyed More Careers Than They Made’
Filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri has made headlines after firing a lead actor from his upcoming film. The decision came in response to the actor’s “arrogant” manager. Agnihotri shared his thoughts on the situation on X (formerly Twitter), highlighting a growing concern within the film industry.
Vivek Agnihotri Reveals Firing A Lead Actor Due To His Manager’s Attitude
The drama unfolded when casting director Mukesh Chhabra tweeted about the current state of Bollywood. He pointed out, “The current state of the film industry: one actor, 200 casting directors, and 15,680 managers.” This post sparked a reaction from Agnihotri, who felt compelled to share his recent experience.
In his tweet, Vivek said, “I had to fire a lead actor last week because his manager was so arrogant and behaved as if he had the prerogative to be like this just because he is an employee of a ‘Huge Celeb’s’ Star Kid Talent Agency’. These middlemen have destroyed more careers than made it. Do a workshop and train these kids, @CastingChhabra.”

Vivek has recently been focusing on his films rather than engaging in public debates. In an interview with Hindustan Times, he stated, “I’m focusing on my movies rather than debating with people. That’s why I don’t go on TV these days. I don’t want to be part of public debate. If I have to make a point, I would rather make it with my films and my writing, my books, my things.”
Filmmaker Is Busy With His Next Titled The Delhi Files
His upcoming project, The Delhi Files, is set to explore significant historical events, including the violent history of undivided Bengal. Agnihotri mentioned that the film will reference critical moments such as the Noakhali riots of 1946, and figures like Mahatma Gandhi and Md Ali Jinnah.
He defended his choice of subject matter by stating, “There are people who ask why Vivek Agnihotri is not making a film on the situation in the northeastern region. There are so many filmmakers. Let anyone among them take up the task. Let me choose my subject. Can’t I create awareness about the issue chosen by me?”
