The Kashmir Files, which was released countrywide on March 11, depicted the exodus of the Kashmiri Pandits from the Kashmir Valley in the 1990s. It featured Anupam Kher, Pallavi Joshi, Mithun Chakraborty and Darshan Kumar. Though the film was called out for its problematic politics by some critics and authors, it performed exceptionally well at the box office by minting over Rs 330 crore.
Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri, a filmmaker, announced on Thursday that he will begin work on his second feature film, The Delhi Files, soon.
The filmmaker, whose most recent film, The Kashmir Files, was a box office success but also a subject of controversy, announced the news on Twitter.

"I thank all the people who owned #TheKashmirFiles. For last four years, we worked very hard with utmost honesty & sincerity. I may have spammed your TL but it's important to make people aware of the GENOCIDE & injustice done to Kashmiri Hindus. It's time for me to work on a new film (sic)," Agnihotri tweeted.
In a follow-up post, he wrote, "#TheDelhiFiles", hinting at the new film's title but keeping his followers guessing about the plot of the movie.
Despite various reviewers and authors criticising the film for its questionable politics, it did remarkably well at the box office, grossing over Rs 330 crore.
