The first trailer for Vivek Agnihotri's controversial film The Kashmir Files is out.

The film also stars Darshan Kumar, Bhasha Sumbali, Chinmay Mandlekar, Puneet Issar, Mrinal Kulkarni, Atul Srivastava, and Prithviraj Sarnaik.

The Kashmir Files shows Kashmir in the middle of civil and communal tensions with Kashmiri Pandits hoping for relief and peace. There are the intellectual kinds, debating who is in the right, the protestors demanding ‘azaadi’ and the locals, who are left bleeding in the streets. Watch the trailer here:

Says director Vivek Agnihotri, “Bringing the story of Kashmir genocide to the big screen is no easy feat and has to be handled with a great deal of sensitivity. This film promises to be an eye-opener and with a talented ensemble cast, audiences can revisit this incident in Indian history through this raw and real narrative.”

Pallavi Joshi says, “A movie is as good as its script and with The Kashmir Files audiences can actually feel and endure the emotions that the characters go through. As actors, everyone on the team completely got under the skin of their characters and committed to telling this shocking and saddening story.”

The Kashmir Files is directed by Vivek Agnihotri and is produced by Tej Narayan Agarwal, Abhishek Agarwal, Pallavi Joshi and Vivek Agnihotri under the Zee Studios, IAmBuddha and Abhishek Agarwal Arts banners. It will release on March 11, 2022.
