It's 'The Kashmir Files' v/s John's 'Attack' next Republic Day
Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri, who created quite a stir with The Tashkent Files, is gearing up for his next. Titled The Kashmir Files, it stars Anupam Kher, Mithun Chakraborty, and Pallavi Joshi. The film will be hitting theaters on Republic Day, 2022. This means, The Kashmir Files will be engaged in a head-on clash with John Abraham's Attack, which is releasing on the same day.
Why does it matter?
While announcing the release date, Kher, a Kashmiri Pandit himself, had said, "Kashmiri Hindus had to wait for more than 31years for the world to know their story of genocide. But now finally presenting the first ever true story of the Kashmir Genocide (sic)." Agnihotri's treatment of the mysterious death of Lal Bahadur Shastri in The Tashkent Files was hard-hitting, so hopes are high.
