After IFFI Jury Head Nadav Lapid stirred a controversy by calling Vivek Agnihotri's directorial 'The Kashmir Files' a "propaganda, vulgar" film, Israel's Consul General to Midwest Kobbi Shoshani expressed his contrasting views on the film. He said that he had seen the film and had a different opinion of it.

He took to Twitter and wrote, "I saw the Kashmir file and met the cast. I have a different opinion than Nadav Lapid. After his speech, I told Nadav my opinion. @vivekagnihotri".
