The Kashmir Files’ Producer Breaks Silence On Nadav Lapid Calling TKF ‘Propaganda, Vulgar’: “For His 2 Minutes Of Glory, Why Should I Comment?”

The Israeli screenwriter and filmmaker, Nadav Lapid who is also the jury head of the International Film Festival of India (IFFI) recently landed into trouble for his latest remarks on the Indian movie The Kashmir Files. The filmmaker called Vivek Agnihotri’s directorial vulgar and propaganda film and faced a backlash from many including the cast members namely Anupam Kher, Vivek Agnihotri, Puneet Issar and others. Even The Kashmir Files’ co-producer Abhishek Agarwal spoke to the media and expressed his grief over the whole controversy.

Written and directed by Vivek Agnihotri, The Kashmir Files followed the storyline around the 1990 exodus of the Kashmiri Hindus. The movie featured some iconic actors from the Indian film industry such as Anupam Kher, Puneet Issar, Mithun Chakraborty, Pallavi Joshi, Darshan Kumar and more.

On the other hand, while speaking to Republic TV, The Kashmir Files’ co-producer Abhishek Agarwal recently reacted to the Israeli filmmaker’s remark on the film and stated that he wouldn’t comment on such a “stupid” thing. He went on to say that it was the filmmaker’s “two minutes of glory” and added that they need not worry about it because India and Israel are on good terms.
