about story of AK vs AK 2020 Movie:
AK vs AK is a 2020 Indian Hindi-language black comedy thriller film directed by Vikramaditya Motwane. Anurag Kashyap, the executive producer and dialogue writer, also stars alongside Anil Kapoor as the title characters, with Yogita Bihani, Sonam Kapoor Ahuja and Harshvardhan Kapoor in supporting roles.
The story, written by Avinash Sampath, utilises a film-within-a-film narrative where the main actors play fictionalised versions of themselves.
After a public feud between Kashyap, an eccentric film director, and Anil Kapoor, an aging film star, the former kidnaps the latter’s daughter (Ahuja) and forces Kapoor to search for her while his assistant (Bihani) films them as part of his next project.
The idea for the film was conceived by Sampath in 2013, and development started after he sent it to Motwane.
At first, the film was to be titled AK vs SK, with Shahid Kapoor[a] playing himself in the latter role, but schedule conflicts caused the film to be shelved in 2016.
The project was resurrected in 2019 with Anil Kapoor in the role instead. Filming took place in December that year, and after an unconventional marking campaign launched a few weeks before the film’s release, AK vs AK debuted on Netflix as one of the service’s original films on 24 December 2020.
It initially received positive reviews, with praise going to the film’s novel structure as well as Kashyap and Kapoor’s performances.
However, the ending and its buildup was considered underwhelming by critics.
