Singapore has banned the Bollywood film The Kashmir Files because the authorities have stated that the film has been assessed to be beyond the city-state’s film classification guidelines.

Infocomm Media Development Authority in a joint statement with the Ministry of Culture, Community, and Youth (MCCY) and the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) said the film will be banned due to its aggressive and one-sided representation of Muslims and portrayals of Hindus being prosecuted in the escalating crisis in Kashmir.

Vivek Agnihotri’s film The Kashmir Files was released in March and since then it is receiving mixed reviews. The film is based on the exodus of Kashmiri Pandits from the Muslim-majority Valley in the 1990s due to terrorism.

The authorities further said that in our multiracial and multireligious culture, these representations have the potential to create hatred between different communities and disturb social cohesiveness and religious peace. Under the film classification guidelines, any material that is denigrating racial or religious communities in Singapore will be refused classification.

During a recent news conference, Vivek Agnihotri said that a section of the international media was seeking to conduct an international political campaign against his film The Kashmir Files. 

Vivek Agnihotri was joined at the conference by his wife, acclaimed actress Pallavi Joshi said that every big player who defames India’s reputation around the world without verifying the facts began calling me, and their main line of inquiry was only Hindu-Muslim. Nobody, not even a single person, bothered to ask about the victims I interviewed for my film. Not one person sought to question me about the facts I showed in the movie and whether they were correct or incorrect, he further said.

He went on to say that the international media is making a political campaign against the film. They accuse us of inciting Islamophobia. I state unequivocally that Islamophobia is being used as a political weapon against my film as part of a global political conspiracy, Agnihotri said. The film is anti-terrorist in nature. The word ‘Muslim’ is never mentioned in the film. The words Pakistan and Pakistani are not used in the film. It’s an anti-terrorism film, he concluded.

Kartik Aaryan and Sreeleela’s rumored relationship has been making waves, and now, a recent comment from the actor’s mother, Mala Tiwari, has added more fuel to the ongoing speculations. During the IIFA Awards 2025, when asked about her expectations from a future daughter-in-law, she subtly hinted that Kartik’s wife should be “a very good doctor.”

This statement has caught fans’ attention as Sreeleela, the popular South actress, is also pursuing a medical degree. While neither Kartik nor Sreeleela have confirmed their relationship, this remark has led many to believe that the actor’s mother might have indirectly acknowledged the dating rumors.

The dating speculations had already gained momentum earlier this month when Sreeleela was spotted celebrating a special occasion with Kartik’s family. The actor and his loved ones hosted a bash for his sister, Dr. Kritika Tiwari, to mark another milestone in her medical career. A viral video from the gathering showed Sreeleela performing the popular hook step from Pushpa 2’s song Kissik while Kartik was seen capturing the moment on his phone.

This cozy camaraderie between the duo further solidified the rumors of their alleged relationship.

Kartik and Sreeleela to collaborate on screen for the first time

Adding to the buzz, Kartik Aaryan and Sreeleela are set to share screen space for the first time in an upcoming film directed by Anurag Basu. The yet-to-be-titled film, slated for a Diwali 2025 release, has already piqued fans’ interest. A teaser released earlier showcased Kartik in a brooding lover’s avatar, singing Tu Meri Zindagi on stage, featuring romantic glimpses of him with Sreeleela.

With their on-screen pairing generating excitement and their off-screen camaraderie sparking romance rumors, fans are eagerly waiting for an official confirmation from the actors themselves.
