Vivek Agnihotri on The Tashkent Files: Only party to benefit from film is Congress, don't know why it's scared
FirstpostDirector, producer, and pro-right activist Vivek Agnihotri is known to experiment with different genres of filmmaking. Based on the ‘mysterious’ death of India’s second prime minister Lal Bahadur Shastri in Tashkent in 1966, the film explores a possible conspiracy behind the death and claims to uncover the truth. Out of frustration, I tweeted saying, ‘Don’t forget, today is also Shastri ji’s birthday and hundreds of people started asking me to make a film on him,” says the director, who shortly announced on social media that he would make a film on the “truth of the biggest cover-up of free India”. He gave us the slogan ‘Jai Jawan Jai Kisan’ and 2. he was poisoned.” By his own admission, Agnihotri’s film is the “most apolitical film on a political figure”. The Tashkent Files is Prasad’s third film with Naseeruddin Shah after Iqbal, and the short film, Interior Café Night, and it’s her second with Mithun.
