Claim: Update : Another post with an image of 'The Kashmir Files' director Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri with PM Modi is being widely shared with a claim that Vivek Agnihotri has donated 200 crore rupees to the PM Relief Fund. However, there are no news reports about Vivek Agnihotri donating 200 crore rupees to PM Relief Fund. Moreover, the image shared in the post is from March 2022 when the 'The Kashmir Files' team met PM Modi. Vivek Agnihotri had tweeted the same visuals on 12 March 2022. Aaj Tak team got in touch with the Vivek Agnihotri's PR team who clarified that the message about Rs. 200 crore donation is just a rumour.
Fact-check: 'The Kashmir Files' film director Vivek Agnihotri did not pledge any money or houses for Hindus in Kashmir - FACTLY
Verdict: 'the kashmir files' director vivek ranjan agnihotri did not make any such announcement to build houses for hindus in kashmir. the 'karni sena' national president suraj pal ammu had recently appealed to 'zee studios' and vivek agnihotri to pledge 50% of the 'the kashmir files' profits for the welfare of kashmiri pandits. while responding to a similar request from an ias officer from madhya pradesh, vivek agnihotri sarcastically tweeted asking him to give his appointment to exchange ideas on how they can help kashmiri pandits from the profits of his movie and his power as an ias officer. hence, the claim made in the post is false.
