Court restrains Anupam Kher's 'The Kashmir Files' makers from showing scenes related to Squadron Leader Ravi Khanna, orders a stay on the release of the film

Anupam Kher and Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri's The Kashmir Files is now in trouble as a district court has ordered a stay on the film based on Kashmiri Pandits. A Jammu district judge has restrained by way of temporary injunction from showing the scenes depicting the acts pertaining to martyr Squadron Leader Ravi Khanna in the movie The Kashmir Files to be released on March 11, Deepak Sethi, Additional District Judge, Jammu said in an order on Thursday. The plaintiff filed the suit for mandatory injunction wherein it is stated that the plaintiff herself has attended the premiere of the movie being released on 11th of March 2022 and the facts pertaining to the husband of the plaintiff herein have been wrongly portrayed but also tend to demean and belittle the sanctity of the husband of the plaintiff in the particular and whole fraternity of soldiers in general.

Some serious flaws were there and it is not based on true facts. After watching the premiere of the movie facts were brought to the notice of defendants but the same was not attended to by the defendants. The suit sought mandatory injunction directing the defendants to immediately remove and delete the scene and incorrect facts displayed/shown vis-a-vis the husband of the plaintiff, Shalini Khanna namely Martyr Squadron Leader Ravi Khanna in the movie and the trailer of the movie The Kashmir Files set to be released on 11.03.2022, which is absolutely and entirely unrelated and nonidentical to actual facts occurred as mentioned in the suit by the plaintiff; or in the alternate to amend/alter the scene and the incorrect facts vis-a-vis the husband of the plaintiff namely Martyr Squadron Leader Ravi Khanna.
