New Delhi, Nov 29 Israeli director and IFFI international jury chairperson Nadav Lapid was at the centre of furious debate on Tuesday for his comments on “The Kashmir Files” with Israel’s ambassador saying he abused India’s invitation and jury members distancing themselves from his views. As controversy grew, a day after the director described the “The Kashmir Files” as "propaganda" and “vulgar”, BJP leaders, actors such as Anupam Kher and Ranvir Shorey and the film’s director Vivek Agnihotri also joined the discourse against him. There were some voices, including from the Congress and some in the film fraternity, who spoke up his defence. Source: PTI
