The video was shared by Agnihotri on his Facebook handle with the caption, “On the 3rd day of the shoot of #TheKashmirFiles, the unit started collapsing because of freezing cold. I spoke to the unit for 2 minutes about our purpose for making TKF and the efficiency became 200% after that. Big clap for the young unit for their sacrifice & service. #BTS”. 

The director can be seen addressing the crew while filming in an arousing and engaging speech.

“You must forget about the cold winter and think that you're in a heavenly place. It’s mind-blowing work. We are doing the biggest charity, social service of our life,” he can be heard saying in the video.
