Vivek Agnihotri: “Out of the 2 crores people who saw this film you won’t find a single person who will say this film is a polarising film”

The Kashmir Files writer and director  Vivek Agnihotri has responded to the people who have been calling his movie a polarising one. A section of the society has criticised the movie for allegedly misrepresenting the tensions which has turned a matter of debate even in the Parliament. Vivek has now said that the people who are criticising his movie are the ones who support terrorist groups.

Reacting to the claims that The Kashmir Files is a polarising movie, Vivek told ETimes, “It’s a great service to democracy that you polarise between the evil and the good. Actually, I will not use the word polarise, I would say differentiate and segment people who are pro humanity, people who believe in human values and human rights, and the people who are from the terrorism industry. People who give ideological or intellectual or media support to terrorists. So today on one side, we have a huge number of people who believe in humanity, and the other side has very small numbers.”

“Out of the 2 crores people who saw this film you won’t find a single person who will say this film is a polarising film. People who support terrorist groups are the ones criticising the film. The Kashmir Files is not dividing or polarising it is differentiating between Ram and Raavan.”

On being inquired as to whether he would like to say anything to the people who have been slamming the film, Vivek simply said, “Why should I say anything to terrorists?”

Several Bollywood celebrities and politicians have hailed the film. Aamir Khan has asked every Indian to watch the film and said, it is made on this subject and should recall how it feels when a person goes through such trauma.”
