“My apologies to Nikit Mikhalkov”: Kirill Kyaro named the journalist who dragged him into the scandal with the director 07/06/2023, 10:25

The scandal broke out after critical statements made by the star of the TV series “The Sniffer” and “Liquidation” against two patriarchs of Russian cinema. Kyaro admitted that in his youth he dreamed of playing with Mikhalkov, but now the Oscar-winning director does not like him at all. He also stated that he refused to act in the film with the creator of the tape “Courier” Karen Shakhnazarov.

Many cultural figures began to reproach the artist after these words. He responded to the attacks today. Kirill recorded the challenge on video while driving.

“I think we need to explain ourselves” said the actor. – Yesterday I learned from my friends about strange headlines in the media – that Kyaro does not want to negotiate with Michalkov, that there is a gap between us. After reading several articles, I realized that these words were taken from a printed interview. But I haven’t given an interview for a long time, recently I do it very rarely – only if it is related to the request of the producers to promote the upcoming film with my participation.

The native of Tallinn admitted that he gave an interview to the publication Sobesednik in February. It was dedicated to the film “The Detector” and was released in March.

“And to this interview, which is now published under the heading: “An actor has to provoke, otherwise nothing works” (by the way, the provocation turned out to be unforgettable) – I have nothing to do with it, – assured Cyril. – The interview was then taken by Oleg Piranov. When the conversation ended, we continued our conversation. The publication of the last interview was not discussed with me, I did not know about its preparation. I was not sent a copy of the visa, as self-respecting publications do. Our conversation after conversation was about life, about cinema. Famous directors were mentioned there, but only respectfully.

The artist apologized to Mikhalkov and Shakhnazarov. Oksana Akinshina’s partner in the thriller “Syndrome” he reiterated that he has no plans to work with these directors. However, he stated that he considered them unavailable.

“I really love the films of Nikita Sergeevich and Karen Georgievich,” reasoned Kyaro. – And like many actors, he dreamed of acting in films with them. But now they are so far and high that I don’t believe in such a possibility. Since, in my opinion, the relationship between the artist and the director should be extremely trusting in the filming process. But where are they and where am I? I apologize to the important directors for being in the same information space with them. But believe me, not by choice, but by journalistic dishonesty and perhaps impurity.”

Cyril added that he was never involved in scandals. Many fans of the artist supported him. “Kiril, you are one of the most polite, intelligent, gentle, cultured and sincere actors I know. Let all gossip and rumors vanish like dust”, “You are one of the favorite artists in our family. Be healthy and take care of your nerves!”, “Kirill, you commented correctly!” bloggers wrote.

Yesterday, Nikita Mikhalkov scathingly commented on Kirill Kyar’s insulting words for him. “I was thrilled to learn of its existence,” said the director.
