Bollywood actor Anil Kapoor and filmmaker Anurag Kashyap got into an ugly Twitter fight. However, nothing to worry there as it’s all to promote their upcoming Netflix film AK vs AK. The digital film will soon release on the OTT platform. In the film, Anurag plays a director while Anil Kapoor is a film star. The film has been directed by Vikramaditya Motwane. And this is all a build-up for AK vs AK press conference, which will be held tomorrow (December 7).
Anil Kapoor took to Twitter to congratulate Delhi Crime team for their International Emmy win. He wrote, “I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again because they absolutely deserve it! Congratulations to the #DelhiCrime team! Nice to finally see more of our people get international recognition. @ShefaliShah_ #WelcomeToHollywood (sic).”
To which Anurag Kashyap replied, “Nice to see some deserving people get international recognition. Waise, aapka Oscar kidhar hain? No? Achha… nomination? (sic).”

When Anil Kapoor said that the closed Anurag has come to an Oscar was when he watched Slumdog Millionaire win Oscars on TV, he replied, “Says the k-k-k-ing of hand-me-down films. Weren’t you the second choice for this film also?”

Sir har 40 saal purani gaadi ko vintage nahi kehte. Kuch ko khatara bhi kehte hain. #retirementcalling https://t.co/qzzX0v4lOZ pic.twitter.com/yS0cdX1yod
