Israeli filmmaker Nadav Lapid, who's the Jury head of IFFI 2022, has been facing backlash for passing controversial remarks on Vivek Agnihotri's film 'The Kashmir Files' at the closing ceremony of the festival on Monday.

Lapid called 'The Kashmir Files' a "propaganda, vulgar film", adding that he was "shocked" to see the film in the competition section of such a prestigious film festival.
