Ever
since
Vivek
Agnihotri's
The
Kashmir
Files
arrived
in
theatres,
people
are
lauding
the
director
and
Anupam
Kher
for
his
brilliant
work
in
the
film.
Many
moviegoers
who
watched
the
film
in
the
theatres,
took
to
their
social
media
handle
and
wrote
that
they
didn't
feel
that
Kher
was
acting
in
the
film,
as
his
emotions
looked
so
real
and
authentic.
During
the
promotions
of
The
Kashmir
Files,
Anupam
Kher
spoke
to
Humans
Of
Bombay
and
recalled
how
he
had
reacted
when
he
was
replaced
in
his
first
film
Saaransh.
He
shared
that
he
had
auditioned
for
the
film
and
was
selected
for
it,
which
was
helmed
by
Mahesh
Bhatt.
He
was
happy
that
he
got
money
and
a
place
to
stay.
But
one
day,
a
crew
member
told
him
that
he
was
being
replaced.
He
immediately
called
up
Mahesh
Bhatt,
and
the
latter
confirmed
that
whatever
he
has
heard,
is
true.
"I
couldn't
take
it
anymore,
and
decided
to
go
back
home.
But
first,
I
went
to
Mahesh's
house
and
told
him
that
no
one
would
play
this
role
better
than
me
and
he
was
making
a
mistake.
After
that,
I
left,
but
he
called
me
back.
He
then
called
the
producers
and
told
them
he
wouldn't
make
the
film
without
me
-
he
saw
the
honesty
and
the
vigor
with
which
I
wanted
to
act.
That's
how
I
got
my
first
film,"
added
Kher.
Meanwhile,
Anupam
Kher-starrer
The
Kashmir
Files,
which
is
made
on
a
moderate
budget
of
Rs
20
Crores,
has
set
the
box
office
on
fire.
Within
a
week,
the
film
managed
to
enter
Rs
50
Crore
club
and
soon,
it
will
enter
Rs
100
Crore
club.
The
film
is
based
on
the
exodus
of
the
Kashmiri
Pandits
during
1990.
