Karan Johar finally speaks about ‘The Kashmir Files’

Vivek Agnihotri has created a revolution at the box office with his latest film ‘The Kashmir Files’. The film managed to touch the hearts of millions as it told the lesser-known tale of exodus and genocide of Kashmiri Hindus back in 1990. The small budget film with no support from mainstream media and promotional money did exceptionally well at the box office. The Bollywood celebrities also took a long time to acknowledge the film and its success.

Karan Johar, one of the biggest filmmakers in Hindi cinema, has finally talked about Vivek Agnihotri’s film. In an interview, he appreciated the box office collections of the film as he said, “The Kashmir Files is not made on the budget like a lot of other movies. But it is probably going to be cost-to-profit the biggest hit of Indian cinema. I read on Box Office India and they said that such a movement hasn’t happened since Jai Santoshi Maa, since 1975.”
