Ashvin Kumar is one of the rare few Indian film-makers nominated at the Oscars, him for his short film, Little Terrorist. Kumar returns to the subject of terrorism and militancy now in Kashmir, with his feature-length film, No Fathers in Kashmir. The movie has been struggling to release in India for nearly a year, thanks to its sensitive setting. After all, Kashmir has always been a contentious subject for India, hasn't it, especially when it has themes of militancy in it. No Fathers in Kashmir Teaser: Ashvin Kumar Explores Dangerous Terrains Through an Innocent Love Story; Alia Bhatt Launches Promo – Watch Video.

But No Fathers in Kashmir is much more than a stark view of the troubles happening in the state. It is also a budding love story between the Indo-British girl Noor and a Kashmiri boy Majid. Noor comes to Kashmir in search of her missing father, and Majid who has fallen for her doe-eyed beauty helps her out, The trailer of the film shows her how their search leads them to various interesting characters, from a fanatical leader, played by Kumar himself, to a military officer, played by Anshuman Jha.
