Vivek Agnihotri’s directorial venture The Kashmir Files , released on 11 March, has gained a massive response and has created waves at the box office. Based on the exodus of Kashmiri Pandits during 1990, the film has struck a chord with the audience and is performing exceptionally well in theatres. Talking more about his film and his inspiration for making it, filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri recently took to Twitter and shared a picture of his ancestral home. Agnihotri posted a photo from the newspaper Amar Ujala, which covered the story of how his father, Dr Prabhu Dayal Agnihotri, lived in a house made of thatch and with hard work and determination, went on to become a Vice Chancellor.

Agnihotri further tweeted that he is glad to currently witness the ‘New India’ about which he had always dreamt of, a place where disadvantaged Indians were empowered. He then mentioned that the empowerment was possible only because of a visionary and committed leadership.
