Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri’s The Bengal Files has been one of the most anticipated films of the year. Known for his bold and courageous storytelling, Vivek is once again set to bring India’s buried history to the big screen. Ever since the teaser release, the film has courted controversy, with multiple FIRs filed by members of Mamata Banerjee’s TMC. The film has been accused of portraying controversial content against him, producer Abhishek Agarwal, and actress-producer Pallavi Joshi. The High Court later granted interim relief by staying all FIRs.
Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri Reveals Why Trailer Launch Of The Bengal Files Trailer Was Cancelled
Determined to challenge those trying to suppress the truth, Vivek announced he would launch the trailer in Kolkata, West Bengal. It is the very place where the FIRs were filed. However, just a day before the event, Vivek posted a video straight after landing in Kolkata. In the video, Vivek is seen revealing that India’s biggest cinema chain has cancelled the trailer launch by giving them a cancellation letter. In the letter, they have mentioned not hosting the trailer launch of The Bengal Files in their theatres. It is allegedly due to mounting political pressure.

In a previous video, Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri questioned why the ruling party is trying to suppress voices and block the truth. He urged citizens—especially youth—to watch The Bengal Files and uncover hidden realities. Emphasising years of research and his faith in the judiciary, Vivek had recently hosted multiple world premieres in the USA. Despite promoting the film silently and respectfully, he shared that political pressure is still being used to suppress the truth.
