The filmmaker also shared a poster of the film, which featured a map of Kashmir in a burnt orange shade and had "The right to truth continues" sub-title written on it.

Other details about the film are yet to be announced.

The director had earlier made 'The Tashkent Files' which revolves around the mysterious death of Lal Bahadur Shastri in 1966 soon after the signing of the Tashkent Agreement between India and Pakistan to end the 1965 war.

'The Tashkent Files' featured Naseeruddin Shah, Pallavi Joshi, Shweta Basu, Pankaj Tripathi, Mithun Chakraborty and Vinay Pathak.

'The Kashmir Files' is scheduled to hit screens on August 2020.
