In his post, he wrote, "Today, #TheKashmirFiles is re-releasing. In theatres. Its release itself is a message. It’s a people’s film. I am trying hard that tickets are available for less than Rs. 100/- so every Indian can watch it. Hope multiplex chains listen and we get success. Go, watch it today."

The re-release of the film is as a result of January 19 being observed as 'The Kashmir Hindu Genocide Day' by the Kashmiri Pundits.
