Police Complaint Against The Kashmir Files Director Vivek Agnihotri; Know Why

Mumbai: Vivek Agnihotri’s ‘The Kashmir Files’ has hogged the headlines in India in recent weeks.

Based on the exodus of Kashmiri Pandits in the 1990s, the film has divided opinion in the country and taken a political hue with PM Narendra Modi and several BJP leaders singing praises even as politicians from Opposition parties have described it as distortion of facts.

Now, a complaint has been filed against the director – not related directly to Agnihotri’s film, though.

Agnihotri now faces heat for saying in an interview that people often assume ‘Bhopalis’ to be homosexuals because of their ‘nawabi desires’.

Rohit Pandey, a 27-year-old PR manager who hails from Bhopal, filed the complaint at Versova Mumbai’s police station and has sought an FIT to be registered against Agnihotri urgently.

A clip of the interview went viral in which Agnihotri says: “I am from Bhopal, but I do not call myself a Bhopali because that carries a certain connotation. If someone calls himself a Bhopali, it generally means that person is a homosexual.. someone with ‘nawabi fantasies’.”

The Kashmir Files has been courting controversy, but it continues to do brilliantly at the box office.
