In a recent media interaction Vivek Agnihotri made it clear that he will take a strict legal action against anyone who calls ‘The Kashmir Files’ a propaganda film.
While speaking with media portal ANI, Vivek Agnihotri said, “Yesterday, Honorable Chief Minister of Bengal, Mrs. Mamata Banerjee criticized the Kashmir files and my next film which is on the genocide of Bengal. She said that BJP sponsors me to make Kashmir files or to make the next film. This is a very hurtful thing affecting my mind, affecting my employment and a blatant lie. This is a baseless thing, which Mamta ji has said in order to please her vote bank under the political-kill agenda. For this, I, my producer Abhishek Agarwal ji, Pallavi Joshi ji have sent this legal notice to them. We have asked her to answer what is the fact of what she has said. Otherwise it is defamation. In my view, this is a statement given to affect the livelihood of a man”.
