It was on August 15 last year that Vivek Agnihotri announced his upcoming offering on the mass exodus of Kashmiri Hindus in the '90s, promising to present it "next year, same time, on our 73rd Independence anniversary".
Even in the wake of the coronavirus health scare, Agnihotri wants to keep his date with audiences. While he hasn't called time on the shooting schedule of The Kashmir Files, his team will take precautions to ensure the unit's safety, before rolling in Delhi next week. "Keeping in mind the sensitive situation, I've decided to do a pre-shoot workshop with the crew to discuss hygiene measures, and precautions that must be followed. There will be trained health professionals on set, and we will keep a list of ambulance numbers, as well as names of nearby hospitals, handy. We will also create awareness about fitness, and the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle," says the director, also adding that the team will get an insurance for every crew member.
