Vivek
Agnihotri
had
earlier
told
IANS
that
making

The
Kashmir
Files
in
India
was
a
challenge
for
him.

He
was
quoted
as
saying,
“While
the
genocide
of
Kashmiri
Pandits
is
called
a
historical
chapter
of
our
modern
politics,
I
do
not
look
at
it
as
history.
If
it
was
history
then
in
October
last
year,
targeted
killing
of
Kashmiri
Pandits
and
non-Muslim
people
like
Makhan
Lal
Bindroo
and
Supinder
Kour
would
have
not
happened.
It
is
an
existing
reality
where
gunmen
can
enter
a
school
and
kill
school
teachers
based
on
their
religious
identity.”

Agnihotri’s
Account
Of
Unhealed
Wounds
Isn’t
For
The
Faint-Hearted

He
further
added,
“Yes
I
know
that
making
a
film
based
on
the
political
account
is
challenging
in
India
but
that
cannot
stop
me
from
telling
the
truth.
I
have
gathered
the
material
of
our
film
based
on
the
real
accounts
from
the
victims.”

The
Kashmir
Files
is
based
on
the
true
stories
of
the
victims
of
the
Kashmir
genocide.
The
film
features
Anupam
Kher,
Mithun
Chakraborty,
Darshan
Kumaar,
Pallavi
Joshi,
Chinmay
Mandlekar
and
Bhasha
Sumbali
in
leading
roles.
