Audience throngs theaters in Kashmir to watch ‘Oppenheimer’, Vivek Agnihotri expresses happiness
New Delhi (IANS). Filmmaker Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri on Monday expressed his excitement over the overwhelming response Christopher Nolan’s biographical thriller “Oppenheimer” has received at cinema halls in Kashmir.
On social media, ‘The Kashmir Files’ director Vivek shared a news clipping with the headline, “Oppenheimer brings Kashmiris back to cinemas in droves”.
He wrote, “Fantastic news. Theaters were burnt down and banned after the 90s. Glad to see this is the first film to fill theaters like this.”
Starring Cillian Murphy in the lead, ‘Oppenheimer’ is based on the life of theoretical physicist J Robert Oppenheimer, who was instrumental in developing nuclear weapons as part of the Manhattan Project, thus ushering in the nuclear age.

On the work front, Vivek is gearing up for Zee5’s upcoming web series ‘The Kashmir Files Unreported’.
