Mumbai, March 21 (NationPress) The acclaimed filmmaker Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri visited the Gorakhnath Temple in Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh, to seek divine blessings.
He shared a video on Instagram, showcasing his prayers and views of the Gorakhnath Math.
In the caption, he expressed, “Jai Baba Gorakhnath,” accompanied by the song “Shiv Sama Rahe” playing softly in the background.
The Gorakhnath Temple is a significant site within the Nath monastic order, named after the medieval saint Gorakshanath, a renowned yogi who extensively traveled across India and authored several important texts for the Nath Sampradaya.
This month marked the third anniversary of Agnihotri's film “The Kashmir Files,” where he stated that his upcoming project, ‘The Delhi Files’, aims to reveal even darker truths, emphasizing his mission to expose the uncomfortable realities of history.
On X, previously known as Twitter, he posted a poster for “The Kashmir Files,” focusing on the fictional portrayal of the 1990 exodus of Kashmiri Hindus from Indian-administered Kashmir.
He remarked: “Dear friends, They attempted to silence me. They tried to erase history. Yet, The Kashmir Files transformed into a movement—shaking the nation and unveiling the truths of the Kashmiri Hindu genocide.
Featuring stars like Mithun Chakraborty, Anupam Kher, Darshan Kumar, and Pallavi Joshi, “The Kashmir Files” served as a voice for the marginalized.
“The Kashmir Files was not just a film; it was a revolution, a voice for the voiceless, and an unwavering quest for justice.”
The film portrays the exodus as a genocide, a characterization that some scholars dispute, claiming these facts were suppressed by a conspiracy of silence.
“If The Kashmir Files disturbed you, then The Delhi Files will devastate you—because my life's mission is to unveil the darkest, most buried truths of our history, regardless of how uncomfortable they may be. -VRA #3YearsOfTheKashmirFiles #RightToJustice #TheDelhiFiles”
Regarding The Delhi Files: The Bengal Chapter, it is reportedly focused on the 1946 Calcutta Riots. This film is the third installment in Agnihotri’s trilogy, which includes The Tashkent Files and The Kashmir Files.
