Akshay Kumar - Vivek Agnihotri
Vivek Agnihotri's The Kashmir Files has created history not just at the box office but also for telling such a humane and heartbreaking story with so much sensitivity. The film that stars Mithun Chakraborty, Anupam Kher, Pallavi Joshi and Darshan Kumar in pivotal roles tells the story of the exodus of the Kashmiri pandits in the 1990s.
Various cine-goers had taken to social media handles to express their disappointment with the film industry for not promoting and supporting a film that deserves it. Later, during an interaction, Kher revealed that Salman Khan called him up and congratulated him. And more recently, Akshay Kumar went on to speak about the film, but the filmmaker isn't too pleased.
Speaking to VJ Raunac, Vivek went on to say that Akshay's praising the film was nothing but helplessness. The filmmaker further adds, "Woh toh majboori mein ab kya bolega aadmi jab 100 log saamne khade hoke sawaal puchenge Kashmir Files. 'Aapki film nahi chali aur woh chal gayi' toh kya bolsakte hai? Woh toh main ek function mein tha Bhopal mein usme bolna padh gaya."
(TRANSLATION: That was out of helplessness, he was asked in front of 100 people about Kashmir Files. When asked 'your film didn't do well and that one worked' then what can he say? I was also attending a function in Bhopal where I had to praise the film)
The filmmaker didn't stop there. He further said, "Peeche koi nahi bolta sab public...Ek aadmi ne mujhe message nahi kiya...Sablog apni film promote karne jaate hai aur media waalein unse Kashmir Files ke baare mein puch lete hai. Toh unhe majboori mein kuch bolna padhta hai. Par apne mann se kisine kuch nahi bola."
(TRANSLATION: No one appreciates personally, no one messaged me. When everyone goes for the promotions of their film, the media asks about The Kashmir Files. They have to say something out of pressure, not out of their own will."
The Kashmir Files made Rs 300 crore at the box office.
