Having worked in over 500 movies in a career that has spanned close to three decades, Anupam Kher has again proved his acting mettle with his incredible performance in the movie, The Kashmir Files. As per the reports, the film has already earned Rs. 236 crore at the domestic box office. Now, the actor shared a video proof revealing that pandits and priests have been visiting his house every third or fourth day to bless him. Anupam also shared the last picture with his father, Pushkar Nath and revealed why The Kashmir Files is a very personal project to him.
For the uninitiated, the film stars Anupam Kher, Darshan Kumaar, Mithun Chakraborty, Pallavi Joshi and a few others, and is based on the genocide of Kashmiri pandits in 1990. However, Anupam Kher, himself being a Kashmiri pandit, has shown his pain and emotions attached to the historical event, very well through his acting in this movie.
