Vidyut Jammwal is in the midst of a big controversy after he accused a trade analyst of asking him for a bribe.

Vidyut Jammwal has managed to create a niche audience for himself, and die-hard fans of the actor always look forward to what the actor is up to. Vidyut Jammwal's latest film 'Crakk' was released in cinemas on February 23. The movie opened to unfavourable reviews from all corners, and perhaps this is the biggest reason that the film has not even crossed Rs 10 crore at the domestic box office. 

However, in the latest entertainment news, Vidyut Jammwal is in the midst of a big controversy after he accused a famous trade analyst Sumit Kadel of asking him for a bribe.

Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Vidyut Jamwal shared a screenshot that stated that Sumit Kadel blocked him on the platform. In his post, the actor wrote, "Asking for bribe is a crime ,and giving one is a crime too!!”My crime “is  not giving??? #sumitkadel…so everytime you praise someone -we know the criminal.."

Vidyut Jammwal's post came minutes after trade analyst Sumit Kadel shared his experience of an unpleasant encounter with a star who thinks himself as "Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan."

Taking to X, Sumit Kadel wrote, "When popularity turns into arrogance, it's a downfall. Despite nepotism tags, 'khaandaani' stars often exhibit humility. Today, encountered an so called outsider whose rudeness was appalling. Understandably, top industry figures avoid working with him."

In another post, the trade analyst wrote, "Folks i need to clarify this is not for any superstar or current generation stars.. this post is for someone else who is not a star but think himself as a Bruce Lee | Jacky chan.. I have met almost every lead actor in the industry and sab bade pyaare hai.. sirf yahi ek pagal hai hai jissey meir mulakaat hui.. Industry k log samaj jayenge, aap logo se request hai plz dont demean anyone under the comment section."

The matter is not over as yet. On Tuesday morning, Sumit Kadel came up with another post, in which he described how unpleasant the encounter truly was.

"Unveiling the Unpleasant Encounter with this actor !! On organizers invitation, I found myself in a press meet Seated alongside fellow journalists, I awaited my turn to engage with the film's lead actor. As the conversation started , I asked him about the his absence in action films alongside with other prominent action stars. Little did I anticipate the storm that my question would unleash. His demeanor shifted, and what ensued was a display of unparalleled rudeness and hostility," he wrote. 

"I shockingly watched as he launched into a tirade of bizarre arguments, attempting to humiliate me in front of few people. Stunned by his behavior, I could scarcely comprehend the sudden turn of events. In a feeble attempt to salvage the situation, he dismissed his outburst as a jest, chalking up my discomfort as a lack of sense of humor in me. However, the damage was already done, leaving me shaken and disheartened by the unexpected attack," he added.

Further in his post, the trade analyst wrote, "In the aftermath of our encounter, I felt compelled to share my experience, albeit without  mentioning anyone’s name . Venting my frustrations through a post, I hoped to shed light on the unpleasant reality that unfolded behind the glitz and glamour of the entertainment industry."

"Yet, my efforts to bring attention to the issue were met with baseless allegations and further attempts to discredit me by this actor whom I not named in my post. Faced with such unfounded attacks, I could no longer remain silent, compelled to defend my integrity and shed light on the disturbing behavior I had witnessed. It is my sincere hope that by sharing my story, I can raise awareness and caution my fellow journalists about the potential pitfalls of encounters with this individual whose state of mind may warrant medical attention. I do not want to indulge in any further arguments in this matter," he added.

Speaking of 'Crakk', the film also stars Arjun Rampal, Nora Fatehi and Amy Jackson. The film will hope to go past the Rs 15 crore mark by the end of this week.
