Taking to X, he wrote, “Thrilled with the success of #HanuMAN! Kudos @PrasanthVarma, @tejasajja123, the stellar crew & VFX team. Also, big thanks for your valuable contribution to Indic Cinema. A moment of glory for the Indic Renaissance, a movement we initiated in 2010 with #BuddhaInATrafficJam, which was stuck for 6 yrs and finally released free on YouTube by Rajshree. What a delight to see that’s it’s now flourishing with blockbusters like #TheTashkentFiles, #TheKashmirFiles, #TheKeralaStory, #Kantara, #Kartikeya2, and many more surprises in the pipeline. Keep blessings Indic filmmakers.”On the professional front, Agnihotri is busy with Parva. The filmmaker tweeted the announcement and wrote- “Grateful to the almighty to be presenting Padma Bhushan Dr. SL Bhyrappa’s ‘modern classic’: PARVA – AN EPIC TALE OF DHARMA. There is a reason why PARVA is called ‘Masterpiece of masterpieces.’In an exclusive interview with Firstpost, the filmmaker revealed, “I’ve always wanted to go into new worlds, new characters, and I don’t repeat myself. My first film Chocolate was a suspense thriller, which was immediately followed by a film on football. Which director moves from a thriller to a film on sports? I then made Hate Story that was a woman oriented subject but told in an erotic style. Buddha in a Traffic Jam was about campus politics. The Tashkent Files was about the controversial death of the Prime Minister of India, so I don’t repeat myself. I don’t have any particular genre.”
