Vivek shared the news article that quoted him and clarified, “Who is spreading such fake news attributing fake quotes to me? I respect Prabhas, who is a mega mega star doing mega mega budget films.
We make non-starter, small budget, people’s films. There is no comparison between us. Please spare me.”

Meanwhile, the director is preparing for the release of ‘The Kashmir Files Unreported’ on OTT. While ‘The Kashmir Files’ revealed the untold story of Kashmiri pandits, the ‘Unreported’ version will feature real people speaking about their experiences. It will delve into historical, ethical, and geopolitical details not shown in ‘The Kashmir Files’.
Vivek is also known for expressing his opinions and raising concerns about various issues faced by the country. In a recent interview with ETimes, he discussed the Manipur incident. He said, “Every single day, we hear reports of humiliation of women, rapes, crimes against children and women, and atrocities against the weaker sections of society. But we live in an over-communicative society. There is so much communication that we are busy seeking self-validation, leading to what I call ‘compassion fatigue.’ We have become numb to violence. That’s why we create filters to avoid confronting the reality. When the Manipur video surfaced, many friends told me they couldn’t watch it beyond 10 seconds, and even social media blurs it. The government instructed us not to show it, and that’s what I dislike about these things. We must show it. It should be shown to every single child and everybody so that we know how bad it is. Due to the hypocrisy of social media, we have started shielding the truth with filters. People say many damaging things. Only when we expose them to inhumanity, they become more human.”
