The Kashmir Files actor Anupam Kher celebrates film's Rs 200 crore milestone with heartfelt post
Anupam Kher has worked in over 500 movies. A veteran star associated with compelling acts on the screen, he has delivered another gem of a performance in The Kashmir Files. Despite all the controversies surrounding the movie, Kher's acting is receiving unanimous praise. The movie has also crossed Rs 200 crore mark at the domestic box office and has beaten Akshay Kumar's Sooryavanshi to clinch the title of the highest-grossing Hindi film released during the pandemic. The silent success of The Kashmir Files is making all the noise and Anupam looked back at his journey in the film industry with an introspective post. Kher thanked fans for making his film a huge success and expressed gratitude as The Kashmir Files entered the Rs 200 club. He wrote on Instagram, "From #Saaransh to #TheKashmirFiles; Once upon a time there was a #KashmiriPandit boy called #Bittu. His father was a clerk whose name was #PushkarNath. Bittu worked very hard and became an actor called #AnupamKher. He continued to work hard and in 38 years did #522 films. Then came along a film called #TheKashmirFiles about the genocide of #KashmiriPandits. He was given the lead role in it. He gave this film literally his blood and soul and decided to name the character #PushkarNath as a tribute to his father and lakhs of other #Kashmiris who were the victims of horrible & senseless violence of terrorists. The pain, truth and tragedy of victims connected with the world. People made it their own tragedy all over the world. Bittu’s film is a roaring success today. From a clerk’s son to the member of the #200Crore club at 67 is what dreams are made of. This is called the ultimate #KuchBhiHoSaktaHai. Jai Ho! Thank you #Vivek #Pallavi #Abhishek and everybody for making it possible (sic).
