Abhijat Joshi, one of the writers of Vidhu Vinod Chopra's directorial 'Shikara', has said Vidhu has made the film with "total integrity" and "without any bitterness". He added the director never uttered "a single bad word" against any other community or religion since the time he started thinking of the story. 'Shikara' is based on the exodus of Kashmiri Pandits.
