After its brush with controversy at the International Film Festival of India (IFFI) in Goa recently,
Vivek Agnihotri's 'The Kashmir Files' has been selected for the 'Official Selection' category of the prestigious Switzerland International Film Festival.
Taking to social media, Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri stated: "Happy to inform that #TheKashmirFiles has been selected in the 'OFFICIAL SELECTION' category of the prestigious Switzerland International Film Festival." 'The Kashmir Files' is a heart-wrenching film that captures the pain, suffering, and struggle of the Kashmiri Pandit community during the exodus of 1990. Apart from sparking a huge debate on Kashmir and the spectre of terrorism, the film collected Rs 340.92 crore worldwide.
Earlier in November, at IFFI, jury head and Israeli filmmaker Nadav Lapid had sparked off a controversy by describing 'The Kashmir Files' as "propaganda" and "vulgar".
