Director Vivek Agnihotri's 'The Kashmir Files' released in March 2022 sparked a string of controversy in the nation. Opened to big numbers, the film was up for debate on every media portal and was a blockbuster hit at the box office.

The film presented a fictional storyline revolving around the 1990 exodus of Kashmiri Hindus from Indian-administered Kashmir. The scenes of the film depicted the exodus and the events leading up to it as a genocide. The makers of 'The Kashmir Files' claim that the facts shown in the film were suppressed by a conspiracy of silence by the government of India.

Now, after a year, director Vivek Agnihotri is returning with a documentary series titled 'The Kashmir Files Unreported' and shared the official teaser of the same couple of days ago. The documentary will feature interviews of Kashmiri Pandits which were taken during the time of research for the film 'The Kashmir Files.'
