Filmmaker Vivek Agnihoti, in a recent interview, alleged that Anurag Kashyap’s alcoholism and unreliability created hurdles during the making of the 2007 sports drama Dhan Dhana Dhan Goal. The controversy was reignited when Agnihotri recounted past experiences, suggesting Kashyap handed off writing duties to Vikramaditya Motwane. The situation escalated on social media when Kashyap responded on Instagram, directly denying all claims. The incident took place during the production of the film in London, where, according to Kashyap, he was not present at all.
Anurag Kashyap REACTS to Vivek Agnihotri’s claim that his alcoholism affected his reliability: “Kitna jhootha hai yeh aadmi”
Speaking to Digital Commentary, Agnihotri said, “We worked together on Goal. He was writing the movie. Saif Ali Khan and Priyanka Chopra were supposed to do it, but Saif had some personal issues at the time, so he left. Then we got John and Bipasha.” According to him, Anurag’s alleged drinking habits affected his reliability. “Anurag was a heavy drinker back then, and he couldn’t be trusted with time. He brought Vikram Motwane on board, who is very talented guy,” Agnihotri added.
Agnihotri claimed that the writing process was not aligned with his creative vision. “They had a different version of the film, which didn’t match with mine. Ultimately, we were at loggerheads. The production house had a word with Anurag. He became difficult to handle professionally, because only an alcoholic knows what an alcoholic goes through.”
Anurag Kashyap reacted to the accusations on Instagram Stories, calling Vivek Agnihotri a “big-time liar.” He wrote, “Kitna jhootha hai yeh aadmi. Shooting London mein hui thi and I was in India.” In the same post, he clarified his role in the project. “He didn’t want the script by Motwane or me. He wanted to make Lagaan of football and took his own writer to write that crappy script. Neither me nor Motwane went on the set ever.”
While Agnihotri accused Anurag of involving Motwane as a proxy writer, he did not claim in his interview that either of them was present on set.
