Vivek Agnihotri’s The Bengal Files trailer stopped | Indian Movie News
On Saturday, the trailer launch of Vivek Agnihotri’s upcoming and much-debated movie The Bengal Files, which depicts the 1946 Calcutta communal riots, was halted at a luxurious lodge in Kolkata. The transfer was met with little shock, given the delicate subject matter and the anticipated backlash. The ruling All India Trinamool Congress (TMC) in West Bengal is thought for its strong stance on defending the state’s minority group.
A senior Trinamool chief, who is also a veteran actor, told this author on condition of anonymity, “It is unlikely Agnihotri’s film will be released in West Bengal. He has a reputation for being a troublemaker. The Kashmir Files stirred up disturbing anti-Muslim sentiments. That won’t be allowed to happen here.”
Responding to the incident, Vivek Agnihotri took to social media, tweeting, “With anguish I inform you: Today West Bengal police, on orders of ‘top authorities’, illegally stopped the trailer of #TheBengalFiles. First theatres, now even a private hotel.”
Later, talking additional on the controversy, Agnihotri remarked, “Who fears the truth of Hindu genocide? And why? Democracy is dead in Tagore and Vivekananda’s land. The trailer is now being seen all over the country, but since it is based in Bengal, we wanted its launch here. They don’t want the atrocities on Bengali Hindus in 1946 and the fightback of people like Gopal Mukherjee to be shown in cinema. If it is a part of history, do you want to change history? There can be only one reason behind such a move — to ignore the conspiracy to divide Bengal again.”
Veteran actor Anupam Kher, who essays the position of Mahatma Gandhi in The Bengal Files, also got here ahead in assist of the movie. Speaking solely to this author, Kher said, “The Bengal Files tells only the truth. Why fear the truth?”
