Hours later, Vivek noticed Mukesh's post on X and re-shared it sharing an incident. The Kashmir Files director revealed that last week he fired a "lead actor" because his manager was "so arrogant". He added that the actor belonged to a "huge celeb's star kid talent agency, " which is why the manager misbehaved with the director. Towards the end, he asked Chhabra to do a workshop and train "these kids".

"I had to fire a lead actor last week because his manager was so arrogant and behaved as if he had the prerogative to be like this just because he is an employee of a ‘Huge Celeb’s’ Star Kid Talent Agency’. These middlemen have destroyed more careers than made it. Do a workshop and train these kids," read the post.

Meanwhile, Vivek had earlier informed the movie buffs that his upcoming movie The Delhi Files will not have a big star but rather will be big on content. “#TheDelhiFiles is going on floors this year, as scheduled. Release next year. No big stars. Only big content.”

The movie will serve as the last installment in a trilogy - The Tashkent Files and The Kashmir Files. The Delhi Files will focus on undivided Bengal’s violent history, with references to the Noakhali riots of 1946, the Muslim League, Congress , Mahatma Gandhi and Md Ali Jinnah. He is yet to announce the release date of the movie.
