The film Shikara is based on the real-life story of more than 4,00,000 Hindu refugees who were forced to leave the Kashmir valley after the sudden breakout of insurgency in the early 1990s. Vidhu Vinod Chopra who is also a Kashmiri Pandit said in an interview with a media publication that Shikara is more than just a film, in fact, he called it a movement.
The film is featuring new-age actors Sadia who is playing the role of Shanti Dhar and Aadil Khan in the role of Shiv Kumar Dhar. Chopra along with 4000 Pandita flew to a refugee camp in order to shoot a key scene. He also said that Shikara is a tribute to the Pandits community.
