Director Vivek Agnihotri appealed to West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee to ensure the release of The Bengal Files, alleging TMC workers threatened theatre owners. He stressed free speech, CBFC clearance, and the importance of portraying historical events.
Filmmaker Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri faced obstacles in Kolkata during the scheduled trailer launch of his film ‘The Bengal Files,’ which he claims was cancelled due to political pressure. Agnihotri criticised what he described as ‘suppression of artistic expression,’ particularly in light of the film’s focus on ‘Direct Action Day’.
