MUMBAI: Veteran actor Anupam Kher is all set to come up with his new film ‘The Kashmir Files’.
Directed by Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri, ‘The Kashmir Files’ is based on video interviews of the first-generation victims of the Kashmir genocide of the Kashmiri Pandit Community. It’s a heart-wrenching narrative of the pain, suffering, struggle and trauma of Kashmiri pandits. On Monday, Kher took to Instagram and shared his look from the upcoming film. He will be seen essaying the role of Pushkar Nath Pandit, a retired professor of Philosophy, who hails from Srinagar with his son, daughter-in-law and two grandsons.
Talking about the film, Kher said, “I have dedicated my performance in #TheKashmirFiles to the memory of my father #PushkarNath ji. I have also named my character in the film #Pushkar. It is more than a film for me. It is the #TRUTH of millions of #KashmiriPandits kept hidden from the world for more than 30years. Finally, it will be revealed on 26th Jan, 2022. Sharing my first look with you all! Please help us in spreading the truth. Thanks.” The film is scheduled to release in theatres on 26 January 2022.
