Explaining why he likes SRK as an actor but does not love the dirty politics played by him in the industry, Vivek Agnihotri shares, "Do you know I am a fan of SRK? I always say there is nobody as charismatic as him. I do not really like the politics of Shah Rukh Khan. I think they are responsible for destroying a great institution like Bollywood. They have destroyed everything in Bollywood. Now, it is only PRs, hype, glamour and stardom. Anything which is not stardom is not accepted. That is my problem."
He added how SRK believes audiences are not intellectual and are dumb enough to love his films. He said, "My second biggest problem is mediocrity, their hardcore belief that the audience is dumb. I cannot tolerate that. I make people films. They make a Box Office film. When their film is successful, it is a Shah Rukh Khan film which is successful. When my film is successful, it is a people film which is really successful. So, we are standing on two different poles: the North Pole and the south pole. However much I love him. Sometimes I think it is like Shakti or Deewar. You love your father and brother, but one is a police officer, and one is a smuggler."
