Vivek Agnihotri gets death threats for his upcoming film ‘The Kashmir Files’

Published

on

After being shadow-banned by Twitter and receiving death threats and nasty calls to stop the distribution of his next film, ‘The Kashmir Files,’ filmmaker Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri has cancelled his Twitter account. Following the flight of Kashmiri Pandits from the valley in 1990, the film exposes the plight of Kashmiri Pandit refugees.

The director sent an open letter detailing his ordeal since launching the #TheKashmirFiles campaign on Twitter to promote his upcoming film. He described how “Pakistani and Chinese bots” have been harassing him and his family for filming an “honest video about the sorrow and sufferings of our Kashmiri brothers and sisters.”

“Many people are wondering if my Twitter account is suspended,” he tweeted. No, it’s not the case. I turned it off. The following are the reasons: Twitter has shadow-banned me since I began the #TheKashmirFiles campaign. My following plummeted, and the majority of my followers couldn’t view any of my tweets. Moreover, my DM was inundated with rude and threatening messages (by you know who). It’s not that I’m incapable of dealing with such situations, but there appeared to be a slew of Pakistani and Chinese bots.

It’s mentally exhausting to be surrounded by such vehement hatred and threats to your family, no matter how tough you are. What for? Making a video about our Kashmiri brothers and sisters’ sorrow and suffering? Is this why they’re concerned that the truth will be revealed? Many wicked elements have gained influence thanks to the unpleasant world of social media. Our silence, on the other hand, gives them hope. The hush is broken with TheKashmirFiles. “Extremely clear and loud.”

“I ‘ve long been against India’s adversaries,” the filmmaker continued, “and #TheKashmirFiles is an attempt to reveal inhuman terrorism that has ruined India’s most sacred land of Shiva & Saraswati.” Now, religious terrorism is spreading over India’s mainland. That is why they want those who like me to remain silent. I constantly speak for people who are unable to speak for themselves. I’ve been debunking several anti-India urban Naxals lies and fabrications. They’re attempting to silence me. However, I am well aware that quiet aids horrible events such as the Kashmir Genocide. They must be aware that I am unstoppable. I appreciate all of my fans and followers’ love and support. Always love.”

Suspensions and shadow-banned accounts on Twitter

Twitter, a social networking behemoth known for its leftist slant, has been reprimanded for suspending or shadow-banning users who don’t share its political views. Last December 15, writer Aarti Tikoo, a Kashmiri Pandit, turned to Twitter to express her concern about Islamic militants in Kashmir threatening her brother’s life. The social networking behemoth Twitter India chose to “freeze” Aarti Tikoo’s account two days later, on the 17th of December. Aarti’s notification stated that if she erased the tweet about her brother receiving threats, she may “unlock” her account.

For unknown reasons, Twitter purportedly shadow-banned the Kashmir-based Indian Army’s Chinar Corp account in 2020. The account was allegedly shadow-banned after it uploaded details of a rescue operation in Jammu and Kashmir, according to reports.

In his upcoming film The Kashmir Files, Vivek Agnihotri details the plight of Kashmiri Hindus when the insurgency began in the valley. ‘The Kashmir Files,’ hailed as one of the most important, current, and untold stories in Indian history was invited to over 30 power-packed screenings in the United States and received a resounding response.

Vivek Agnihotri’s The Kashmir Files, which itself is inspired by the actual events of the migration of Kashmiri Hindus from Jammu and Kashmir, was raised high at Times Square in New York for two consecutive days on the celebration of the 73rd Republic Day, in what can only be regarded as a source of national pride.

Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri’s film, ‘The Kashmir Files,’ is based on interviews done with the first victims of the Kashmiri Catastrophe of such Kashmiri Pandit Community.

The film is said to transport viewers to 1989, when an unparalleled conflict in Kashmir erupted, forcing the vast majority of Hindus to flee the valley. According to accounts, between February and March 1990, roughly 100,000 Kashmiri Pandits out of a total population of 140,000 evacuated the valley. In the years that followed, more of them left, and by 2011, only about 3,000 families remained in the valley.

Mithun Chakraborty, Anupam Kher, Darshan Kumar, Pallavi Joshi, Chinmay Mandlekar, and Puneet Issar are among the main characters in ‘The Kashmir Files.’

This movie ‘The Kashmiri Files’ was set to premiere in theatres around the world on January 26, 2022, to coincide with India’s 73rd Republic Day, but it was delayed owing to the Covid-19 pandemic, particularly the spread of the Omicron version.

Amitabh Bachchan, who also featured opposite Ajay Devgn in the aviation drama, has praised Ajay Devgn’s latest directorial Runway 34. Ajay, who earlier stated that he would not have done the film if Amitabh Bachchan had not agreed to feature in it, shared a handwritten message from the legendary actor on his social media pages on Saturday. After reading the handwritten message in which Amitabh termed it an “amazing honour” to be directed by Ajay in the film, Ajay said that he feels emotional.

Ajay posted a photo of Amitabh’s message with the caption, “It’s difficult to put into words the honour of having the legendary Amitabh Bachchan feature in your directorial debut. And when he writes a handwritten message with his passionate comments, it elicits a dizzying mix of appreciation and fulfilment. Thank you very much, Amit Ji! #Runway34.”

The letter was written on a notepad with the names of Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan, as well as a logo in the shape of a B for Bachchan. It was dated April 29. In the letter, Amitabh wrote, “Hello, Ajay! Ajay! Ajay! It was an unbelievable honour to be a part of ’34’ and to get such a wonderful director’s gift. Your work is excellent. It’s amazing how well you’ve put everything together. They claim it’s your finest, but I’m confident there will be many more. Congratulations.”

“And, Amitji closed his message with these lines,” Ajay wrote in another letter from Amitabh. “PS: Your expressions and performance in the cockpit were pure brilliance,” the note stated.” “Well deserved words on both sides,” his wife Kajol said on his Instagram account after seeing the messages.

Runway 34 is based on a true story from 2015, in which a Doha to Kochi flight narrowly avoided disaster after having trouble landing at the airport owing to poor weather and limited visibility. Captain Vikrant Khanna, played by Ajay Devgn, is a flying prodigy, and Tanya Albuquerque, played by Rakul Preet Singh, is his co-pilot. In the case, Amitabh Bachchan portrays Narayan Vedant, the investigating officer. Ajay has directed and produced the film in addition to acting in it.

According to the film’s review, “Ajay, once again donning the director’s hat, does an outstanding job. I must say, he’s a fantastic storyteller. He creates an immersive experience with Runway 34, rather than just acting.”

Zeenat Hussein, Aamir Khan’s mother, has explained how she reacts to his films that she dislikes. He said this during the premiere of a song from his next film, Laal Singh Chaddha. The actor also revealed how his mother reacted after seeing the Laal Singh Chaddha test screening.

Kahani is the first song from Laal Singh Chaddha that Aamir has released. Mohan Kannan has provided his vocals to the song, which was composed by Amitabh Bhattacharya.

“When Ammi dislikes a film, she will ask, “hatao isko ye kya banaya hai?” ‘Place it away.’ She says it in a sweet tone, “As to a story, Aamir said.

When asked about his mother’s reaction to Laal Singh Chaddha’s test screening, Aamir stated, “First and foremost, I always get my mother’s reaction. Then I wait for my children’s reactions. My mother was a big fan of the movie. ‘Aamir, don’t listen to anyone,’ she said after viewing it. The film is flawless; it should be released as is. ‘Don’t take anything out.’ As a result, I must know how Ammi feels.

Aamir explained why he opted to release the song rather than the video, saying, “The songs in Laal Singh Chaddha are, without a doubt, the heart and soul of the film, and this album has some of my greatest work.

Putting Pritam, Amitabh, the vocalists, and the technicians in the limelight was a deliberate decision because not only do they deserve to be in the spotlight, but the music does as well. I’m excited to see how the public reacts to the music that the crew has put their hearts and souls into.”

Laal Singh Chaddha stars Kareena Kapoor Khan, Mona Singh, and Chaitanya Akkineni and is an adaptation of Tom Hanks’ Forrest Gump. On August 11, the film will be released in theatres around the country.
