I condemn what happened with students at NIT: Vivek Agnihotri

Bollywood filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri says he condemns the clash between students of National Institute of Technology in Srinagar.
Trouble had broken out at the campus when groups of local and outstation students clashed following India's defeat at the hands of West Indies in the semi-final match of T20 Cricket World Cup.
"What has happened with the students of NIT, I do not accept it and condemn it badly. I've made posters and posted them on Twitter (to support the students)," Vivek told reporters here.
The director was speaking at the trailer launch of his upcoming movie, "Buddha In A Traffic Jam". The movie stars Arunoday Singh, Mahie Gill, Anupam Kher, Pallavi Joshi in pivotal roles.

Recently, Kher was stopped by Jammu and Kashmir Police at the airport in Srinagar on Sunday, and not allowed to visit NIT.
Kher reached the airport on Sunday morning and was scheduled to visit NIT to "give moral support to the students."

When asked about this, Vivek said he is more concerned about the "dangers looming over the country."
"I don't know want to get into that kind of politics. I am concerned about the dangers which are looming over our country. Anupam Kher goes there or not, it is symbolic and he will answer that. I don't want to get into that area."

Kher was not present at the trailer launch as he was invited by the PM for lunch with the royal couple (the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince William and Kate Middleton) in Delhi.
The film is a socio-political drama, dealing with the situation of a young management student, Vikram Pandit, who finds himself in the midst of Maoists threat while trying to work for the welfare of the tribals.
Vivek had screened the film at JNU recently among a crowd of more than 4,000 students.
The director will now visit the students of NIT Bhopal and the entire team has been invited to the campus.

"Nobody is allowed to go to NIT Srinagar right now. It would be wrong on my part to even think about going there because it's a little sensitive (issue)," he said.
The filmmaker, who has earlier helmed movies like
"Chocolate" and "Hate Story", said "Buddha In A Traffic Jam" has been passed with absolutely no cuts from the censor board.
The film is slated to release on May 13.
