“The story of ‘Hamid’ is of a relationship between a CRPF (Central Reserve Police Force) trooper and an eight-year-old Kashmiri boy by the name of Hamid. The film was made with the attempt to bridge the gap of alienation because that is the very root cause of what is happening in the valley,” Aijaz Khan said in a statement.
“At this time, we feel that the very attempt of peace and the work that our jawans are doing is being undermined,” Khan added.
The makers of the film were planning a special screening for CRPF soldiers in Srinagar on Monday, but they had to cancel the screening due to the tragic attack.
The producer also said that the movie carries a special of peace and hope in most unlikely circumstances.
