Speaking about being a part of this movie, Anupam Kher told Firstpost in an interview, "When Vivek came to me about this film, when I heard the script, and he offered me this role, I knew I had to be a part of this story being told to the world. In a movie, you cannot show fourt lakh people running away. You cannot show all that actually happened. So, I had to use my soul to portray that. In Saraansh, I had to use my craft. I was getting ready to be an old man. But The Kashmir Files needed both the actor and the person to be on the same page."
Based on the true story of the brutal sufferings endured by Kashmiri Pandits during the Kashmir insurgency in 1990, The Kashmir File stars Anupam Kher, Mithun Chakraborty, Darshan Kumaar, Pallavi Joshi, Bhasha Sumbali and Chinmay Mandlekar in pivotal roles.
