Due to the covid, the films were not released in theatre, but now after the ease on the various restrictions, filmmakers are now getting the confidence to release their movies in theatre. Therefore in the past ten days, the released dates of many films had been announced. The Kashmir Files was one such film. If there was no third wave, the political drama would have been released on 21 January 2022. The film was pushed ahead and today, it had come to light that it will now finally arrive in cinemas on 11th March.
Coincidently, Radhe Shyam, starring Prabhas and Pooja Hegde, is also scheduled to hit in cinema on the same day. Radhe Shyam is a big-budget movie, co-produced by T-series. While The Kashmir files are backed by Zee Studios and stars Anupam Kher, Mithun Chakraborty, Darshan Kumaar and Pallavi Joshi. Interestingly The Kashmir Files was earlier going to release alongside Prithviraj, the grand movie actioner starring Akshay Kumar and Miss world 2017 Miss Manushi Chillar, on January 21.
Vivek Agnihotri’s last film was The Tashkent Files in 2019 which was a sleeping hit, so one can’t underestimate The Kashmir Files. The film is about the controversial issue of the exodus of Kashmiri Pandits. Hence even without the big stars, the film will generate a lot of curiosity.
According to a report, Vivek Agnihotri said, “I am not scared of any film. This is not a project. It’s admission for us. Last time, I was supposed to release it with Prithviraj. We even toyed with the idea of clashing The Kashmir Files with RRR, on March 25. I am aware that Radhe Shaym is a hypes-up film and we are coming with that film as the audience of our movie is absolutely different. I am sure that slowly, The Kashmir Files will grow. And anyway, Kabhi toh film ko theatre mein aana hi haina. Last time, I released my film, The Tashkent Files, six days before Kalank and we know how it worked.
