Now that 'The Kashmir Files' is making a splash at the box office all over the world and the movie has done a business of Rs 170 crore in just 10 days in India, the discussion is gaining momentum that why has there never been a lot of people to see the massacre of Kashmiri Pandits in movies made on Kashmir in the last 30 years. There was a similar film 'Haider', a young man named Saqib Bilal Sheikh, who acted in it, became a terrorist.
Through the movie 'Haider', director Vishal Bhardwaj had tried his best to defame the Indian Fars. In which all Muslims of Kashmir were shown as 'victims' and The Indian Fars were shown as 'villains', which has also been the narrative of Pakistan. 'Haider', written by Pakistani-American Basharat Pir, was sold as an adaptation of Shakespeare's play 'Helmet'. Saqib Bilal Sheikh has worked in a small role in it.
You will be surprised to know that the same Saqib Bilal Sheikh later joined the terrorist organization Lashkar-e-Taiba. In which it was shown that he was trying to escape from the bus by getting off the bus and escaping from the violence. He also got the character of 'Chocolate Boy' in it. He was a resident of Hajin in Hajin, Bandipora. Even though the propaganda movie showed him running away from violence, in real life he became violent himself. He was killed along with a Pakistani terrorist by the Indian Army in December 2014.
Saqib Bilal Shaikh used to work as a theatre artist and no one knows because of his being a terrorist. Saqib, who plays football, kabaddi and taekwondo, had suddenly gone missing from his home in August 2014. Another young man was also missing with him. Saqib Bilal Sheikh, who studied mathematics in 11th standard, belongs to a well-to-do farming family. After his disappearance, his mother had wandered to many pir-fakirs for his return and took amulets.
According to media reports, the song 'Bismil' from the movie 'Haider' starring Shahid Kapoor in the lead role was filmed at the Martand Sun Temple. In which Shahid Kapoor was seen dancing in scary costumes. His character in the movie is Muslim. At the same time, in the background, the 'devil'-like figure is said to be standing in black clothes in the temple itself. Kay Kay Menon, Tabu and Shraddha Kapoor are also seen sitting in the song. There was a lot of opposition to it then, but it was suppressed. After this film, the name of that ancient temple came to be called 'Satan's Cave'.
