While travelling with #TheKashmirFiles in USA & overwhelming response of Americans, I had said that now everyone wants to increase their footprint in India. India is now the most lucrative, safe and growing market of the world.
This is the year of Indian cinema. #AchcheDin https://t.co/1HNz3jU1TD

Vivek Agnihotri praised the incredible move on Twitter. Everyone is aiming to ‘increase their footprint in India,’ according to the director.
He tweeted, “While travelling with #TheKashmirFiles in the USA & overwhelming response of Americans, I had said that now everyone wants to increase their footprint in India. India is now the most lucrative, safe and growing market in the world. This is the year of Indian cinema. #AchcheDin (sic).”
Vivek’s words of gratitude came after previously criticising the actress for the Besharam Rang Row. In January 2023, the filmmaker joined the controversy around Deepika’s song Besharam Rang from the successful film Pathaan.
