While I appreciate the sentiment, I hope this also translates into better opportunities for local Kashmiri talent. Not just using the location but also involving local artists and technicians.

Subhash Ghai has always shown Kashmir beautifully in his films. Remember the song "Taal Se Taal" from Taal? That was shot in Kashmir and still gives me goosebumps! More such magic please 🎬
