The ace comedian has become nationwide famous and there's no doubt about it. Kapil is one of the ace comedians of our country and his team too has left no stone unturned to bring smiles to our faces. Well, as famous as Kapil's show and his team has become famous, there are equal amount of controversies over the years.

Now, filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri was recently requested by a fan to promote his upcoming film that talks about the exodus of Kashmiri Hindus in the 1990s due to the Kashmir Insurgency. Responding to this, he directed a tweet at Kapil and said that he is nobody to decide if he can promote the film on the show.

His tweet read, “I don’t get to decide who should be invited on @KapilSharmaK9 show. It’s his and his producer’s choice whom he wants to invite. As far as Bollywood is concerned, I’d say what once Mr. Bachchan was quoted saying about Gandhis: Vo raja hai hum rank.”

They refused to call us on their show because we don’t have big commercial star. #FACT
