Filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri says 'The Bengal Files': 'West Bengal has become the new Kashmir and...'

The trailer of The Bengal Files produced by Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri, Abhishek Agarwal and Pallavi Joshi has dropped. Directed by Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri, the filmmaker behind The Kashmir Files, he says, “If Kashmir hurt you, Bengal will haunt you!”

Talking about the film, Ranjan Agnihotri said, “‘The Bengal Files’ is a wake-up
call, a roar that we will not let Bengal become another Kashmir. We decided to launch the trailer in Kolkata to bring authenticity to the portrayal of untold story of Hindu genocide and you will witness a glimpse of it in the trailer. The nation should prepare… because if Kashmir hurt you, Bengal will haunt you.”

Pallavi Joshi said, “This is yet another face of reality we are bringing to society,
something people truly need to see. ‘The Bengal Files’ trailer is an attempt to take the audience closer to the haunting reality the film will portray. Every performance in this film comes from a place of deep truth, making the story even more powerful. It’s impactful cinema with the zeal to reveal a truth the nation has long forgotten. I hope the trailer receives the same love and warmth that our teaser did.”
