Mumbai, Nov 29 (PTI) A day after Israeli filmmaker Nadav Lapid termed his film a “propaganda”, “The Kashmir Files” director Vivek Agnihotri in a cryptic social media post said truth is the most dangerous thing as it can make people lie.
Agnihotri’s reaction comes after veteran actor Anupam Kher, who starred in “The Kashmir Files”, on Tuesday said truth will always trump falsehood. Lapid had termed “The Kashmir Files” as “propaganda movie” and “vulgar” at the closing ceremony of the 53rd International Film Festival of India (IFFI) on Monday night in Goa. He had served as the chairperson of the international competition jury at the IFFI.
“GM. Truth is the most dangerous thing. It can make people lie. #CreativeConsciousness,” Agnihotri wrote on Twitter. Written and directed by Agnihotri and produced by Zee Studios, “The Kashmir Files” depicts the exodus of Kashmiri Hindus from Kashmir following the killings of people from the community by Pakistan-backed terrorists.
