Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently raised the issue of Kashmiri Pandits in Lok Sabha, saying the identity of Kashmir was buried on January 19, 1990, a reference to the exodus of Pandits from the Valley.
Filmmaker Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri, who is gearing up to finish the pre-production work of his highly-anticipated next, ‘The Kashmir Files’ – an unreported story of the most tragic and gut-wrenching genocide of Kashmiri Hindus, has welcomed PM Modi’s statement in Lok Sabha on Thursday.
Vivek Agnihotri informs, “I am glad that the Government of India is talking about KH issue in the Parliament. If nothing else the recognition of genocide is a big step towards the healing process of Kashmiri Hindus.”
Following the huge critical acclaim of his last release, ‘The Tashkent Files’ in April last year, the filmmaker-author is set to weild the megaphone as the movie goes on floors this summer.
Featuring Anupam Kher in a pivotal role, ‘The Kashmir Files’ is slated to release on the auspicious occasion of India’s 73rd Independence anniversary in 2020.
