Continuing with the ‘meta’ marketing for the upcoming ‘meta’ film AK vs AK, director Anurag Kashyap responded on Monday to the ‘calls and messages’ he has been receiving about certain ‘developments’ in the film’s promotions. He said it doesn’t bother him.
Before the film’s trailer launch event, in which the filmmaker plays a version of himself, alongside Anil Kapoor, he was involved in a Twitter war with his co-actor. In AK vs AK, the two are at odds after Anurag puts Anil through hell to make a movie. They maintained this dynamic even during the trailer launch event on Monday.
In a tweet, Anurag wrote: “They have been getting calls and messages that there have been rumors about the recent developments in #AkvsAk promotions. I don’t mind little trolls and Bollywood bullies. I always say believe what you see, ”and shared a link to the launch event.
In another tweet, he accused AK against AK director Vikramaditya Motwane for deviating from the ‘real narrative’. He shared a link to the trailer and said he would post a ‘Kashyap cut’ of the events soon. Brother @VikramMotwane, I hate to agree with @AnilKapoor here, but this is not doing justice to the actual narrative. He will soon release the Kashyap cut. #AKvsAK “.
The official synopsis of the film is as follows:
A visionary director, an old-school actor and a camera filming for 10 hours. Anurag Kashyap, the enfant terrible of Indian cinema, kidnaps Sonam Kapoor and films her father, the evergreen, Anil Kapoor’s search for his daughter in real time, as his next blockbuster. AK vs AK is Vikramaditya Motwane’s next film, starring Anurag Kashyap and Anil Kapoor, as themselves.
Also featuring various real-life family members including Sonam Kapoor, Harshvardhan Kapoor, and Boney Kapoor, AK vs AK is coming to Netflix on December 24.
