Vivek Agnihotri recently mocked the waterlogging at the Institute of Town Planners India in Delhi following recent heavy rains in the national capital. On Thursday, the filmmaker took to his X handle to quote tweet a visual shared by ANI. Laughing at the irony, The Kashmir Files director said, “Indian towns are monuments of ugliness.”
The filmmaker also took a dig at the new parliament building. In another post, the filmmaker shared a visual of a leak in the new parliament building and wrote, “Can’t believe this is the new parliament. The parliament doesn’t belong to any government. It belongs to ‘we the people’. It was made ugly, but now this? Unacceptable.”
He added, “We have been a country with heavy monsoons for ages. How long will it take our architects to build leakage-proof buildings? There isn’t any modern public building or house which doesn’t leak. Since independence, we haven’t constructed a single building that is eco-friendly, durable, convenient, and aesthetically pleasing.” The filmmaker said we have failed our ancestors.
Delhi received heavy rainfall on 31 July and in the wee hours of August 1. It resulted in waterlogging in several localities of Delhi-NCR. The IMD has issued warnings of intermittent showers through August 5.
On the work front, Vivek Agnihotri is currently working on the film The Delhi Files as well as Parva – An Epic Tale of Dharma, which is said to be based on the Hindu epic Mahabharata.
