13 years after his last directorial venture (Eklavya: The Royal Guard), director Vidhu Vinod Chopra returns with Shikara. The film’s trailer released today and it appears to be a harrowing tale of the plight of Kashmiri Pandits.
The film, which stars debutant actors Sadia and Aadil Khan, focuses on the 1989-90 forced exodus of Hindus from Kashmir when targeted by JKLF and Islamist insurgents.
The film is apparently a romantic drama that shows how a young couple survives, when they are forced to seek refugee status in their own country. It also throws light on how political leaders acted in such trying circumstances.
