AK vs AK is a dark comedy released in 2020 on Netflix. The film is directed by Vikramaditya Motwane and stars Anil Kapoor and Anurag Kashyap in the lead roles, playing fictionalized versions of themselves.
The story begins with a heated argument between Anil Kapoor and Anurag Kashyap, where Kashyap accuses Kapoor of being a mediocre actor and a sell-out who only cares about his image. In retaliation, Kapoor challenges Kashyap to make a film with him in 10 days, and the director agrees.
However, things take a dark turn when Kashyap decides to make the film by kidnapping Kapoor's daughter Sonam Kapoor and filming the search for her in real-time. While Kapoor is frantically trying to find his daughter with the help of the police, Kashyap is filming his every move as part of the film.
As the search for Sonam intensifies, the film blurs the lines between reality and fiction, as both Kapoor and Kashyap start crossing ethical and moral boundaries to get what they want. The film takes a unique approach as it is shot in a single take, giving it a raw and realistic feel.
AK vs AK is a bold and innovative take on the meta-film genre, where the actors play exaggerated versions of themselves and the boundaries between real life and fiction blur. The film received positive reviews for its unique concept and outstanding performances by both Kapoor and Kashyap.
