After an eight-month battle with the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), Ashvin Kumar's directorial No Fathers in Kashmir will hit the screens on April 5.
"It is a film made for young people all over India to connect with young people all over Kashmir, about the euphoria and hopefulness of being young - an A certificate would keep both these audiences away from each other.
