He stated, "For the first time, a film is likely to be released a second time in the same year. Please watch #TheKashmirFiles, which will be released tomorrow, to pay tribute to #33YearsOfKPEXodus!"

'The Kashmir Files,' a documentary about the lives of Kashmiri Pandits during the 1990 Kashmir insurgency, is based on first-generation video interviews with victims of the Kashmiri massacre, recounting their pain, suffering, struggle, and trauma.

The film, which was originally scheduled to be released on March 11, 2022, was added to the Oscars 2023 reminder list when the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) released the list of 301 feature films eligible for this year's Oscars. It appears that popular demand prompted the film's creators to re-release the film for the second time in the same year.




The Oscars 2023 reminder list includes the blockbusters "RRR," "The Kashmir Files," "Kantara," and "Gangubai Kathiawadi."
