The trailer launch of Vidhu Vinod Chopra`s upcoming film Shikara: The Untold Story of Kashmiri Pandits, was held in Mumbai on Tuesday with the star cast Sadia and Aadil Khan, Musician A R Rahman and Vidhu Vinod Chopra himself. Speaking to the media at the event, Chopra gave his reaction to the Kashmir exodus as well as the ongoing violent attacks on students across the nation. Chopra was referring to the horrific Kashmiri Pandit exodus from Kashmir that happened on January 19, 1990, which is the subject of the film. Talking about Shikara, the filmmaker said, "This is a story about a Kashmiri Pandit couple, some 30 years ago. Their story starts in 1987 when everything was fine. From 1989 till today, it has been that couple`s story. It is the story of their 30 years` journey and the story of India as well. It took me a lot of time and effort to make this film, and it is the story of all those people who have been refugees in their own country over the last three decades." Bollywood has always shied away from making mainstream cinema addressing the plight of Kashmiri Pandits. Shikara marks the return of Vidhu Vinod Chopra to the direction in India after 13 years. His last directorial feature film was Eklavya: The Royal Guard in 2007.
