After the blockbuster success of The Kashmir Files last year, Vivek Agnihotri and his wife Pallavi Joshi have now released his docu-series The Kashmir Files: Unreported. In the seven-episodic series, "Vivek and Pallavi set out to explore the history of Kashmir that led to the genocide of Kashmiri Pandits. They dig into the geographical features of the state, its accession with India, and the ideologies that have wanted to separate Kashmir from the country."

When Vivek was asked in an interview about the people still questioning The Kashmir Files, he told Hindustan Times, "Who are these people? Anybody who stands up against The Kashmir Files is exactly the same person who is also against abrogation of Article 370, the same person who is always talking in favour of Pakistan. These are exactly the same people who have been supporting terrorism indirectly. They are giving ideological cover to terrorism in Kashmir. These are exactly the same people who stand with free Kashmir and who stand with tukde tukde gang. So you figure out that why these people have sympathy or support for terrorism industry."

"Then you will understand why they are against The Kashmir Files because this film for the first time has exposed terrorism like no other film in India has been able to do. Because I have shown Yasin Malik the way he is. In fact, the most powerful dialogues and the best characters are of Radhika Menon (played by Pallavi Joshi) and Yasin Malik (named Farooq Malik Bitta in the film and played by Chinmay Mandlekar) and they speak exactly what they want to speak; not like villains, but real people. That's why they hated it. Because I have exposed them, I understand their politics", the director further stated.

Apart from Pallavi Joshi and Chnmay Mandlekar, the 2022 blockbuster starred Anupam Kher, Mithun Chakraborty, Darshan Kumaar, Bhasha Sumbli, Puneet Issar, and Prakash Belawadi in the lead roles. The seven-episodic series The Kashmir Files: Unreported began streaming on ZEE5 on August 11.
