Shikara new trailer: Vidhu Vinod Chopra promises an affecting film on Kashmiri Pandits’ exodus

Shikara has been directed, edited and produced by Vidhu Vinod Chopra. Its screenplay has been penned by Vidhu Vinod Chopra, Rahul Pandita and Abhijat Joshi. The movie features Aadil Khan and Sadia in the lead.

Earlier, during an event, screenwriter and journalist Rahul Pandita remarked Shikara ‘is the true story of many Kashmiri Pandits.’

Pandita added, “We were asked to leave our houses within a matter of weeks. All of us left like that, suddenly. My mother was exactly my age in 1990 when she left Kashmir with three suitcases – one with me and my sisters’ books, others had some clothes. I can’t even narrate what all we faced. The humiliation, bathing under public taps, no daris, no blankets, standing all day for tomatoes, but we never lost hope.”

Shikara releases on February 7.
