Srinagar (Jammu and Kashmir): For Director S Kumar, most of the mainstream Bollywood films on Kashmir have portrayed a negative image of the valley, which he intends to change with his upcoming film 'Aman-e-Kashmir'. In a special conversation with ETV Bharat, Kumar, a famous director, cinematographer and film writer who is currently in Kashmir, said that he will be shooting for the film which he said will “highlight the positive aspects of Kashmir”.
The shooting for the film 'Aman-e-Kashmir' will start towards the end of December, Kumar said. Kumar that through the film, he wants to put before the world the original and true concept of Kashmir, known as the heaven on earth. The film will not only be made in Hindi, but it will be dubbed in local language Kashmiri, Kumar said.
He said that the film will feature local artists as well as famous Bollywood actors. The film will also have local Kashmiri music. Besides Hindi lyrics penned by lyricist Sagar, a local Kashmiri write will also contribute to the lyrics for "Aman-e-Kashmir", Kumar said. “Thus, the film will have a fusion of Hindi and Kashmiri music,” he said.
In response to a question over the film, Kumar said that "Aman-e-Kashmir" will present a love story to the viewers. “No other angle will be seen in the film,” he said. Kumar said that many films have been made on Kashmir so far, “in which they have tried to show the negative aspects of Kashmir instead of the positive ones”.
