Ever since director Vidhu Vinod Chopra shared the trailer of Shikara, the curiosity factor has been on an all-time high with the subject and storyline that Shikara holds. Later, to give more insights into the film, the makers also released the second trailer of the film. Both the trailers bagged immense love and appreciation for its storyline and the gut-wrenching pages from the books of history. 

To promote Shikara, Vidhu Vinod Chopra and Rahul Pandita, a few days back, attended the coveted Jaipur Literature Festival 2020 and was also a part of the special panel discussion at the event. Talking about the whole subject, the director also expressed his hope to open a film school in Kashmir. 

Shikara is Vidhu Vinod Chopra’s tribute to his late mother and is all set to release on February 7, 2020. The film is produced jointly by Vinod Chopra Productions and Fox star studios.
