Vivek Agnihotri asked 'Terror supporters and Genocide deniers' to prove The Kashmir Files false after Nadav Lapid called his film vulgar.
After Nadav surprised everyone by calling The Kashmir Files a 'propaganda and vulgar film', Vivek Agnihotri took to Twitter and shared a video while challenging him to prove that the facts shown in his films are false.
Vivek Agnihotri dropped a video and said, “Yesterday at IFFI, a jury member called The Kashmir Files a propaganda and a vulgar film. This is not a new thing for me, because these types of comments are being made by many terrorist organizations, urban naxals, and the people who want to divide India. But what surprises me the most is, that this narrative of dividing Kashmir from India by some terrorists was supported on stage at an event organized by the Government of India.”
Terror supporters and Genocide deniers can never silence me.

On Monday, at the closing ceremony of IFFI 2022 (International Film Festival), Nadav Lapid while speaking on behalf of the jury, said, "All of us were disturbed and shocked by the movie The Kashmir Files. It felt to us like a propaganda, vulgar movie, inappropriate for the artistic competitive section of such a prestigious film festival. I feel comfortable to share open disfeelings with you since the spirit of the festival can truly accept critical discussion."
Meanwhile, Darshan Kumaar, who played one of the key characters named Krishna Pandit in Vivek Agnihotri's film, too, reacted to Lapid's comments. Speaking to ANI, Darshan said, "Everyone has their own individual opinions on anything they see and perceive. But one can't deny the fact that The Kashmir Files is a film which has depicted the actual plight of Kashmiri pandit community who are still fighting for justice against the brutal acts of terrorism so this film is not on vulgarity but on reality."
Actress Pallavi Joshi also reacted and shared a prolonged post about Lapid's bashing the film as 'propaganda and vulgar' on the closing ceremony of IFFI 2022 on her Instagram. Pallavi captioned the post as "Here is my official statement to Nadav Lapid. Jai Hind," and wrote, "For decades the international community remained silent on the sufferings of the Kashmiri Pandit Community. After three decades, the Indian film industry, finally realised that it needs to tell India's stories truthfully and objectively."
She further added, "Vivek and I were always aware that there are elements that would not be the stark truth on the screen, but it is very unfortunate that a creative platform was used for political agenda to preserve an old, false, and jaded narrative about Kashmir. We are overshwlemed by the way people of India rose to defend The Kashmir Files against the rude and vulgar statements of a genocide denier."
Joshi further added that, "I would like to assure our audience and supporters that 'The Kashmir Files' remains a people's film. I also want to the Israeli Ambassador H.E Naor Gilon and Consul General Shri Kabbi Shoshani for their support. I Am Buddha stands for India and we will continue the path of truth and resilience to keep making meaningful cinema with original Indian content. Pallavi Joshi."
