Kangana Ranaut Defends Vivek Agnihotri Amid Allegations of 'Inebriated Harassment' – Full Details Inside!
Kangana Ranaut has silenced those criticizing the underwhelming box office performance of The Vaccine War.
Kangana Ranaut has voiced her support for director Vivek Agnihotri, after a woman took to Twitter to allege that the director of The Vaccine War had harassed her while under the influence of alcohol. She also addressed, and dismissed, negative comments pertaining to the less-than-stellar revenue of The Vaccine War at the box office.

A recent article labeled Vivek Agnihotri’s latest project a 'failure', to which Kangana responded on X, "Is it necessary to pen such negative remarks about any movie? Is monetary gain the only measure of success? Why demean artists in such a manner? Amongst all the releases, #VaccineWar received the most positive feedback. Isn't a well-executed film a success in its own right? Do all ventures always reap financial rewards? Some endeavors are successful, and some are not."
Don’t support him my love. Nobody can be more nasty than Vivek Agnihotri. He drunk abused me. He’s far from being an artist.

See what he said about @iamsrk also.
He doesn’t need any empathy especially from a straight shooter like you. https://t.co/ukOoxzqCCx
Kangana Ranaut remarked, "Why the constant scavenging for failure? Penning down premature epitaphs? Shame on individuals with such perspectives. How does someone with zero knowledge of cinema even find the audacity to make such harsh, cruel, and prejudiced statements?"
In response to Kangana's post, a user advised, "Please don’t back him. No one can surpass Vivek Agnihotri in unpleasantness. He verbally abused me under the influence. He is nowhere close to an artist. Look at his comments about @iamsrk too. He doesn’t deserve sympathy, especially from someone as forthright as you."
Kangana, refusing to overlook the comment, replied, "I uphold the values I believe in and support everyone I have supported, even those who have tried to destroy me. I advocate for a better future and the well-being of all."
Regrettably, Vivek Agnihotri’s The Vaccine War had a sluggish opening at the box office, gathering Rs 85 lakh and Rs 90 lakh on the first and second days post-release, respectively. However, there was a slight uptick in the collections on September 30, pulling in Rs 1.50 crore, bringing the total earnings to Rs 3.25 crore.
In an attempt to pull in the crowd, Vivek Agnihotri introduced a 'Buy 1 Get 1 Free' promotional offer for the movie's tickets on Sunday.
