‘The Kashmir Files’ actor Anupam Kher has shared a cryptic tweet after the film was snubbed at the Filmfare Awards held in Mumbai on Thursday, reported Hindustan Times.
The film was nominated in multiple categories including Anupam being nominated for Best Actor In A Leading Role (Male). The Kashmir Files didn’t win a single award out of seven nominations.
Director Vivek Agnihotri had written a long note ahead of the event, calling Filmfare “unethical and anti-cinema awards”.
Taking to Twitter on Friday, Anupam shared a quote that read: “Izzat ek mehenga tohfa hai, uski ummeed saste logo se na karein (Respect is a precious prize, don’t expect it from cheap people).” He shared it with the hashtag The Kashmir Files.
The Kashmir Files was competing in multiple categories including Best Film, Best Screenplay and the Best Director category. Cast members Mithun Chakraborty and Darshan Kumar were also nominated in the Best Supporting Actor category for the film.
The Best Film went to Alia Bhatt-starrer Gangubai Kathiawadi, directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali. He also won the Best Director award at the event. Mithun Chakraborty and Darshan Kumar lost to Anil Kapoor who won the Best Actor in a Supporting Role (Male) award for Jugjugg Jeeyo. The Best Screenplay award went to Akshat Ghildial, Suman Adhikary and Harshavardhan Kulkarni for Badhaai Do.
