Director Vivek Agnihotri made waves on social media by editing a group photo from the 69th National Film Awards ceremony, deliberately removing Karan Johar, further fueling their ongoing feud. The prestigious awards event recently unfolded in Delhi, with Vivek Agnihotri's film 'The Kashmir Files' clinching the Nargis Dutt Award for Best Film on National Integration. In contrast, Karan Johar was present to accept the Special Jury Award for his film 'Shershaah,' which he had produced.

Agnihotri's public disdain for Johar's filmmaking style has been well-documented. He has repeatedly criticized Johar's work, deeming it 'superficial' and lacking a meaningful societal impact. The filmmaker took to social media to share an edited picture featuring the 69th National Film Awards winners alongside President Droupadi Murmu and Union Minister for Information & Broadcasting Anurag Thakur.

This image prominently featured Agnihotri, his wife-actress Pallavi Joshi, along with other notable figures from the film industry, such as Alia Bhatt, R Madhavan, SS Rajamouli, Allu Arjun, Kriti Sanon, Waheeda Rahman, and Shreya Ghoshal.

The rift between Vivek Agnihotri and Karan Johar has been festering for a while. In August of this year, Agnihotri accused both Johar and Shah Rukh Khan of "damaging India's cultural fabric." Speaking to DNA, Agnihotri expressed, "Since the era of Amitabh Bachchan as a superstar – not the one from Deewar but the one from Shehanshah – Indian cinema has ceased to tell authentic stories. Especially the works of Karan Johar and Shah Rukh Khan have had a disastrous impact on India's cultural heritage. It is imperative to narrate genuine, unadulterated tales."
