The film is scheduled to go on floors within the next six months with an ensemble cast. Vivek plans on meeting as many Kashmiri Pandit refugees as he can — from Jammu, Delhi, Mumbai and even abroad — to get first-hand accounts of their stories. Vivek added that he had already worked with several activists in the area and spoken to top politicians. He was initially planning a book but will now develop a film on it. He states that most films on the subject have “justified the terrorism” and portrayed the Indian Army in a bad light. Vivek emphasises that he plans on changing such a narrative with The Kashmir Files.
