Vivek Agnihotri says ‘Kashmir is the most beautiful place in the world’ as he promotes ‘The Kashmir Files Unreported’-Entertainment News , Firstpost
Basking in the success of The Kashmir Files, director-producer duo Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri and Pallavi Joshi are back once again with a spell-binding series ‘The Kashmir Files Unreported’ which is soon to premiere on ZEE5. The duo unveiled the trailer at SKICC in Srinagar, Kashmir and amidst the series promotions in the heart of Srinagar, Vivek and Pallavi spent some time soaking in the beauty of Kashmir while indulging in a shikara ride on the banks of the picturesque Dal Lake.
Later, while sipping the traditional Kashmiri Kahwa chai, the couple also revealed that they had been lusting for some relaxing moments in between their strenuous work schedules and nothing could have been better than choosing Kashmir. Vivek Agnihotri said, “Yeh Vishwa ki sabse khubsoorat jagah hai aur yeh sabse khubsoorat lake hai”. Pallavi Joshi further added that Shikara reminds her of the unforgettable memories from the 1990’s picturing Shashi Kapoor, Shammi Kapoor, and Sharmila Tagore. She believes, Kashmir has truly laid the foundation of Indian cinema and will continue to do so in the future as well.
As Shikaras represent romance, Vivek Agnihotri elaborated on his equation with Pallavi Joshi at home saying, “Ghar pe direction nahi order chalta hai. Pehle main order se ladhta tha lekin ab bas wohi hai, that’s it. Unity in diversity. Ek ka order hai aur ek follower hai” When asked about family vacations, “Main toh proud mumbaikar hu, born and raised in Mumbai. Mujhse toh bhai paani aur samundar kabhi chutne nahi wala hai. Mujhe samundar se bohot pyaar hai”, Pallavi Joshi concludes.
While Vivek Agnihotri loves scripting his films amidst hilly regions, Pallavi Joshi finds solace on the lake front. The producer-director duo makes us believe that opposites attract. While The Kashmir Files touched the hearts of the audience, this series explores the untold truth of the Kashmiri Pandits straight from the horses’ mouth. After 4 years of extensive research, The Kashmir Files Unreported will capture the historical, ethnical, and geopolitical details, encapsulating the events, mistakes, crimes, and circumstances that led to the massacre and mass exodus of Kashmiri Pandits from the valley in the 1990s. It goes on to portray the situation which led to the abrogation of Article 370 and its repercussions on Kashmir today. Woven together through real life anecdotes, survivor testimonies and archived footage, The Kashmir Files Unreported is all set to give you goosebumps and will stream on ZEE5 from August 11.
