Speaking about the challenges faced by the team while shooting the film, actress Pallavi Joshi had told India Today that a fatwa was issued against them on the last day of shooting in Kashmir.
She was quoted as saying, "When that happened, we were fortunately on our last scene. I told Vivek (Agnihotri), 'Let's finish this scene quickly and head to the airport.' We were leaving anyway, but I told him, 'Let's not say anything and finish the shoot right now.' Because we wouldn't get another chance to come back. So we finished that scene and I sent a few people to the hotel and said, 'You guys start packing and put everything in the bag and get it to the sets and we'll leave from there.' That was the only challenge we faced while shooting."
Set in 1990 during the Kashmir insurgency, Vivek Agnihotri's The Kashmir Files revolves around the exodus of the Kashmiri Pandit community from the valley.
