How the Controversy Started?
It all started when, during an interview for the promotions of her new film Virata Parvam, Sai Pallavi, who claims to have rather a neutral opinion about the same stated, ¡°The film The Kashmir Files depicts the assassination of Kashmiri Pandits. A man was recently slain for carrying a cow because he was suspected of being a Muslim. The perpetrators shouted ¡®Jai Shri Ram¡¯ after killing the victim. Where is the line drawn between what occurred in Kashmir and what occurred recently?¡±

"In spite of being subject to mass killings & exodus, Kashmiri Pandits never played the victim card. That¡¯s why Sai Pallavi cannot differentiate between the unfortunate killing of one man and the catastrophic genocide of an entire community," a user wrote on Twitter.
Dear @Sai_Pallavi92

There is a huge difference in a random Muslim being beaten & an entire community being uprooted.
Please don't trivialise my pain.
Come & see any of our broken homes & hearts. We are witnesses to Genocide but await justice.
