Filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri on Wednesday (January 29) took to Twitter to expose how the 'self-proclaimed' stand-up comedian, Kunal Kamra, tried to corner him with the help of Congress spokesperson Sanjay Jha
New Delhi: A day after Kunal Kamra took to Twitter to make a video of him heckling and abusing senior journalist Arnab Goswami on a flight to Lucknow, filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri on Wednesday (January 29) exposed how the 'stand-up comedian' refused to post his interview because the video exposed the Congress' lies on Rohith Vemula.
Ok friends, today let me tell you a secret about Mr. which I never ever told anyone. Despite Mr. Kunal Kamra making filthy, indecent tweets on me.
I am doing it is because Kamra is trying to be the warrior of truth.
Let me expose this most opportunist liar. 1/n https://t.co/K1hyZVZ30i
Taking to Twitter, Vivek Agnihotri, in a series of tweets, said that Kunal had approached the filmmaker for an interview and was insistent on getting Dr Anand Ranganathan or Rahul Roushan of OpIndia to be featured in the interview as well.
After Vivek agreed and confirmed that Dr Ranganathan would accompany him, the self-proclaimed stand-up comedian said that it might 'dilute' the interview and would be better if it would be only the two of them.
2 yrs ago, Kamra chased me to do a video interview. He asked me to help him get or to be with me. I helped him and he confirmed that Anand will be with me.
Then he called and said why dilute, it will be my solo interview. I said ok. 2/n pic.twitter.com/y4hm7kcBVO
On the day of shooting the interview, Kunal reportedly said that Sanjay Jha, a Congress spokesperson would join the duo in the interview.
Kunal's decision on inviting Jha was shocking to Vivek. He later realised that Kunal and Jha worked as a team and were trying to 'corner' Vivek.
In the interview, Kunal reportedly questioned Vivek on "the most effective fake news". To that, the filmmaker said "Rohith Vemula".
Last minute, he told me that Sanjay Jha would be part of the interview. I wondered why Jha? Which I learnt later.
I realised that both work as a team n they wanted to corner me in the interview.
But they couldn’t. As I exposed their nexus. What happens next will shock you. 3/n pic.twitter.com/H71jF1vS5X
According to the filmmaker, Kunal ended the interview abruptly when he was confronted. Vivek also questioned the duo on whether they had ever visited a village in India and shared a meal in a Dalit house.

Kunal later claimed that the footage of the interview was lost. But it is more likely, in this case, that since Kunal’s and the Congress’ lies on Rohith Vemula were exposed, the interview was unceremoniously scrapped.
