Vivek Agnihotri accuses Mamata Banerjee of making defamatory remarks on 'The Kashmir Files'; sends legal notice

New Delhi: Filmmaker Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri claimed that he has sent a legal notice to West Bengal Chief Minister and Trinamool Congress supremo Mamata Banerjee, alleging her of making defamatory remarks against his film 'The Kashmir Files' (TKF).

"I have, alongwith Abhishek Agarwal and Pallavi Joshi, sent a 'legal notice' to West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee for her false and highly defamatory statements made with malafide intention to defame us and our films 'The Kashmir Files' (TKF) and upcoming 2024 film The Delhi Files," Vivek wrote in a tweet.

‘The Kashmir Files’ written and directed by Vivek Agnihotri is centred around the 1990’s exodus of Kashmiri Hindus from Kashmir. The flick stars Anupam Kher, Mithun Chakraborty, Darshan Kumar and Pallavi Joshi in the lead.

The film which was released on March 11, 2022, had collected an estimate amount of Rs 340.92 crore on the box-office. (UNI)
