In the past also, when India had conducted retaliatory air strikes on Pakistan following the Pulwama attack, there was a rush to register titles with Indian Motion Pictures’ Producers’ Association (IMMPA).

Filmmakers are always looking for different ideas for their films, and if theme relates to Kashmir, filmmakers can always give the film a patriotic flavour.

The massive success of Uri: The Surgical Strike is another reason why filmmakers are rushing to make films related to Kashmir; it has the potential to set the cash registers ringing at the box office, if it strikes a cord with the Indian audience.

Several Bollywood films were scheduled to shoot in Kashmir over the next few months, but with the abrogation of Article 370, the filmmakers have decided to put their film shoots on hold for now (anticipatig trouble).
