Recently, in an interview with India Today, when Vivek Agnihotri said, "This film is about humanity and education. Give it due respect if you want to change India and don't get involved in the number game. They (the persecuted people) are not statistics. They are human beings. Nobody asked Steven Spielberg (the director of Schindler's List) for data on the holocaust and accepted that the Holocaust is the most inhuman and the most barbaric thing to have happened ever."
He further added, "If your parents were killed, you would not have cared if 4,000 people were killed or 400. If your brother was killed or your sister was raped, you would never ever, in your life, ask whether there are diverse views."
Meanwhile, The Kashmir Files has received appreciation and support from many Bollywood celebrities like Akshay Kumar, Yami Gautam, Aditya Dhar, Paresh Rawal, Riteish Deshmukh, Kangana Ranaut, Suniel Shetty, amongst others.
The film based on the brutal sufferings endured by Kashmiri Pandits in 1990, during the Kashmir insurgency, features Anupam Kher, Mithun Chakraborty, Darshan Kumaar, Pallavi Joshi, Chinmay Mandlekar and Bhasha Sumbli.
