There is discussion all around about ‘The Kashmir Files’. The film has entered the 200 crore club. The film has been made tax free in other states including Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Karnataka and Goa. Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal recently raised the issue of making ‘The Kashmir Files’ tax free in the Assembly. He said that the demand for making the film tax free is being raised. It should be put on YouTube so that it will become free for free. The film’s director Vivek Agnihotri has retaliated on this statement of Kejriwal.
Vivek Agnihotri’s reaction
Kejriwal had said in the assembly that ‘why are you getting tax free? Hey put it on YouTube, it will be free only. Why are you getting tax free? If this is the hobby, then tell Vivek Agnihotri, he will put it on YouTube. All pictures are free. Everyone will see in one day.’ Vivek Agnihotri expressed surprise over Kejriwal’s statement. He asked if he would say the same to Steven Spielberg.
question asked by kejriwal
Vivek Agnihotri while talking to the English website Firstpost said, ‘Did he (Kejriwal) really say this? Should I really react to something so absurd? Will he ask Steven Spielberg to upload Schindler’s List to YouTube? It’s not like I’m comparing my little film with Schindler’s List, just asking.
2 crore people watched the film
Vivek Agnihotri further said, ‘Two crore people have already seen The Kashmir Files. He is responding with all his emotions. I want to focus more on 20 million people than on those 20 leaders who are professional abusers.
