A Santosh Sivan directed film about the journey of a Kashmiri boy in search of his beloved donkey tries to capture the fabled beauty of the Valley.

Recounting his experiences while shooting for the film, Kher says, "I went to Kashmir after twenty-one years, but it made me sad. The soul of Kashmir looks wounded and I do not think it will be same again," he says adding that the film was very close to his heart." The actor however, refused to comment on the present crisis on the Amarnath land transfer directly saying that the whole issue was political and common public had nothing to do with it.

"I do not want comment on it but it is all political. What Kashmir really needs is employment and peace," he says.

Expressing sadness over the perception that people carry about Kashmir, Kher says, "Nowadays, when we talk about Kashmir we only remember death, destruction and violence but we forget its beauty. 'Tahaan' tries to establish the beauty of the valley and reminds us that it is still a very beautiful place."
