At the ABP Networks Ideas of India summit, Nawazuddin said that he is yet to watch the film and is keen to watch the film. He also addressed the controversy surrounding the film during the summit. "Every director has a style and point of view for making films. He made a film from his point of view, which is good. Others will also make films from their perspectives, in the future. And, that is great. When a filmmaker makes a film, he/she does so from his perspective, with a unique style of viewing things. It should be allowed for any filmmaker to add their own perspective even to films based on real incidents," he said.

He said that he did not wish to comment further in the film, as he is yet to watch it. On asked why he wants to watch The Kashmir Files, he said, “People are watching it, so I will also watch it.”

The Kashmir Files which was released on March 11 collected over Rs. 200 crore in two weeks. Despite the release of the magnum opus RRR on Friday, March 25, the film is still holding steady at the box office.
