Nadav Lapid apologises for calling The Kashmir Files 'vulgar propaganda'; says 'my aim was never to insult people, their relatives'

Days after calling Vivek Agnihotri's film, 'The Kashmir Files' as 'vulgar propaganda', Israel filmmaker Nadav Lapid has now reportedly apologised. Nadav said that his 'aim was never to insult people or their relatives'.

Talking to a news portal, Nadav said that he didn’t want to insult anyone, and his aim was never to insult people or their relatives, who have suffered. The filmmaker went on to say that he deeply regrets how they interpreted his words. He also went on to say that he spoke on behalf of the entire jury. His comments weren’t just his but also represented the thoughts of his fellow jurists, Nadav told CNN-News18.

Earlier, in an interview with the Israeli newspaper Ha'aretz, Nadav had said he stands by his remarks as he "knows how to recognise propaganda disguised as a movie".
