The director in his post on Twitter also thanked Amit Shah for his vision to 'strengthen humanity and brotherhood.' "Thanks a lot, @AmitShahOffice Ji for your encouragement. Your consistent efforts for the human rights of the Kashmiri people and security forces are commendable.

In another tweet, the director also wrote about HM Shah who has been continuously working hard to bond the hearts after the 'abrogation of article 370.' Toward the end, the director concluded and wrote that he is sure of the fact that Kashmir will emerge as 'example of humanity.' "After the boldest decision of the abrogation of article 370 @AmitShah ji has started the process of bonding hearts. I have no doubt that Kashmir will emerge as an example of humanity and oneness for the world to follow," Agnihotri added.

Overwhelmed to meet the entire cast of the film, Amit Shah expressed his honour and lauded the sincere efforts of the team to bring out the truth about the 'sacrifice, unbearable pain and struggle of Kashmiri Pandits' who were forced to leave their home in their own country. 

He also wrote that The Kashmir Files is a 'bold representation of truth' and how it will work to make the society and the country aware in this direction that such historical mistakes should not get repeated.

The director's latest release opened to great reviews and numbers on the box office while grabbing the attention of all including PM Modi. PM Modi during his recent Parliamentary meeting said that people have tried to 'suppress what is shown in the film'. Calling out that the film has shown the truth which is being suppressed for years, the Prime Minister said, "such movies should be made more often." 

The film The Kashmir Files, which is soaring to new heights, depicts the painful and heartwrenching stories of Kashmiri Pandits who were forced to leave their homes and live like refugees in their own country. Apart from this, the film has been made tax free in almost all the states of the BJP-led government, including Goa, Karnataka, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Tripura and more. The film that was released on March 11, has managed to rake in Rs 18 crores in just five days of theatrical run. The film stars Anupam Kher, Mithun Chakraborty, Pallavi Joshi.
