Earlier in a chat with Firstpost, on being asked about the most powerful scene in the movie, Anupam Kher had mentioned, "There is a silent scene wherein the refugee camp he eats a biscuit and he cries and he slaps himself. Or the scene in which he feels cold and starts singing that Kashmiri song. Even the death scene. When we were doing the truck scene, they were actual Kashmiri Pandits in the truck. In the movie, they are told that two people are hanging. The lady next to me started howling. I said what happened? She said one of the people who were hanged was her cousin."

The Kashmir Files is based on the genocide of the Kashmiri Pandits which took place in the Valley in 1990. The film stars Anupam Kher, Mithun Chakraborty, Darshan Kumaar, Chinmay Mandlekar and Pallavi Joshi in pivotal roles.
