"As a Kashmiri Hindu, I lived with the tragedy. But nobody was recognising the tragedy. World was trying to hide this tragedy. The film started a healing process by documenting the tragedy.'"

Reminiscing the process of giving life to a tragedy he suffered, Kher said that The Kashmir Files is not just a film to him, but an emotion which he portrayed on screen. "Since I represent the people who got expelled from their homes, I consider it a great responsibility to express it in the best possible manner. My tears, my difficulties which you are seeing in this film are all real."

"The audience got a taste of realistic films. Those films which has an element of reality will surely connect with the audience. The success of films like Kashmir Files is a testament to it. Without any songs, any comedy, the film turned out still amazing. This is actually the triumph of cinema", he added.

As a piece of advice to upcoming filmmakers, he said that one should remove the notion from their minds that they are from a particular language film industry."Instead, the film makers must identify themselves as film makers from the Indian film industry doing a particular language film. It is a larger than life film industry," he said.(UNI)
