The Kashmir Files is garnering applauds and creating box office records. Vivek Agnihotri’s movie which portrays the exodus of Kashmiri Pandits from the Valley was planned to have another key highlight in the movie as Lata Mangeshkar was going to sing a song in the movie.
Talking to ETime, Vivek Agnihotri revealed that the movie doesn’t have any song but as per the plan, Lata Mangeshkar, who passed away a few weeks back due to multiple organs failure was going to lend her voice for folk in the movie.
In an interview with ETimes, Vivek said that he contacted Lata to sing a song for the film. He said, “Kashmir Files doesn’t have any songs, it is a tragic, epic drama but it is also a tribute to the genocide victims. I actually recorded a folk song from a Kashmiri singer and we wanted Lata didi to sing that. She had stopped singing for films and had retired but we requested her. She was close to Pallavi (Joshi) and she agreed to sing for our movie. Kashmir was very close to her heart and she said she will record the song after the Covid surge subsides. She was also not allowed to go to studios, so we were just waiting to record with her, but then this happens. It will remain a dream to work with her.”
Starring, Mithun Chakraborty, Anupam Kher, Darshan Kumaar, Pallavi Joshi, Puneet Issar, Mrinal Kulkarni in lead, The Kashmir Files has managed to do the business of Rs. 190 crores in just 12 days.
