Vivek Agnihotri on The Bengal Files row: ‘Filmmakers are being silenced in the land of Satyajit Ray'
Filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri arrived in Kolkata for the trailer launch of his much-awaited film, The Bengal Files. However, things took an unexpected turn when the scheduled screening at PVR-INOX was abruptly cancelled. The event was then shifted to a private banquet hall in a five-star hotel, but that didn't change the outcome. The trailer screening was halted midway, not once, but twice, with Kolkata Police intervening to stop the launch. 'There are two constitutions in India, one Indian Constitution and another that runs here,' Agnihotri said at the event. If rumours are true, the trailer launch ran into trouble over securing permission from the Kolkata Municipal Corporation. However, Agnihotri denied such rumours. 'We have paid all the money, done all the tests here. Today in Bengal, the police are being used for some people's political ambition. This tolabaji will not work with me. My name is Vivek Agnihotri. I cannot be silenced,' he said. After the screening was halted for the first time, Agnihotri alleged that the hotel's wires had been cut to prevent them from showcasing the trailer. Agnihotri alleged that some people came and cut wires. 'Have you ever seen anyone stop an event in a private hotel? I don't know who is doing it and why. Any Indian, Bengali will get to know about the uncovered truth after watching The Bengal Files. Who are these people who don't want people to know this? You already know the answer.' The Bengal Files trailer is currently streaming on YouTube. Written and directed by Agnihotri, the film is produced by him, Abhishek Agarwal, and Pallavi Joshi. The trailer introduced Mithun Chakraborty, Anupam Kher, Darshan Kumar, and Pallavi Joshi taking the lead. It is based on the events of the Direct Action Day. The trailer was originally scheduled to release in a multiplex like any other ordinary film. When asked Vivek Agnihotri why his film trailer is being blocked in places, he had no answer. 'Multiple FIRs have been filed against us. ' 'We have taken all permissions. We took permission from ITC, ran tests, or else we would have never organised such an event. They are not telling us why it is being stopped. If this is not a dictatorship, then what is it? If this is not Fascism?' Police officials present at the spot refused to comment on the matter. 'Law and order have failed, and that's why it is important that everybody supports this film, The Bengal Files. So many police have been deployed here as if we are thieves or smugglers. We are filmmakers. If we are being silenced in the land of Satyajit Ray, then you can imagine what the situation is in Bengal," said Agnihotri, reacting upon claims of permission related issues. The Bengal Files has been facing challenges ever since filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri announced it. It is the final installment of his Files franchise. Elaborating on why he chose Kolkata, not any other city, for the release of the trailer despite repeated obstructions, the filmmaker argued that - 'If a film is made on the Dandi March, then where should it be launched?" "This film is about uniting people of Bharat. I don't know why someone would try to suppress this.' Pallavi Joshi, who is a part of the film cast and also the film producer, chimed in, "Yes, it is true that it would have been more convenient for us to launch this trailer somewhere else. People would have been able to watch it too. In fact, it would have been even more convenient if we had not made Bengal Files at all—if we had just made a love story with big stars. But why are we making these kinds of films? "The reason is that in this space, making a movie on this subject is very necessary. The audience will know what has happened to Bharat.' The Bengal Files will be released in theatres on 5 September.

Remember That Saiyaara Scene Where Vaani Called Krish Kapoor 'Mahesh'? Here's How It Was Shot
Last Updated: Saiyaara, starring debutants Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, became a hit for its love story and music. A BTS clip of iconic scene is going viral. Saiyaara, starring debutants Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda in lead roles, became a rage for its simple love story and, of course, terrific tracks. While several moments from the film often resurface online, one such iconic scene was loved by fans – it was when Ahaan's Krish Kapoor takes care of an ailing Vaani, battling the initial stages of Alzheimer's. In the scene, Krish Kapoor takes Vaani away from the city to spend time with her. During a crucial scene, she fails to recognise Krish and thinks of him to be her former lover, Mahesh. This breaks Krish's heart, however, he decides to let go and continue with life. The emotional scene struck a chord with the audience, with many lauding their chemistry and secretly hoping they work out at the end. A behind-the-scenes (BTS) glimpse from the filming of the particular scene is going viral on the Internet. Watch it here: You know the scene don't you?🥺❤️ — farbrown✧*。 (@yesssandnoooo) August 16, 2025 Did you know it was Aditya Chopra who wanted a fresh casting for Saiyaara? Mohit Suri was one of the guest speakers at CNN-News18's Mumbai Townhall even t where he said that it was YRF Head Aditya Chopra who told him that the film would flop if it were made with 'established names". 'I really had put in a lot of my voice into the film," Suri shared. 'In this atmosphere where everyone was blowing up cars, I was making this love story with new people. I put in a lot of myself in writing the film, along with my assistant. I sent the script to YRF during the December holiday weekend and I chickened out. I thought, let me give him some solution—in the sense, provide some actors and known names who would back me and make this film. I so badly wanted to make this film," he explained. The filmmaker admitted that his original vision was to work with newcomers, but market realities made him doubt the decision. 'When I wanted approval, I said okay, I have this list of actors who are willing to do this film with me. I wrote it for new people but I really want to make this film. I don't know in this market who will put in this much money to make it with new people," he continued. That's when Aditya Chopra stepped in with a bold perspective. Mohit Suri shared, 'It was Adi Sir who told me, 'Why are you making this film? My distribution and marketing team will be very happy that you are selling me this film with known faces, but I am telling you your film will flop if you make this with established names. Saiyaara released on July 18 sans much promotions and went on to become one of the highest-grossing films of 2025 with a gross collection of over Rs 500 crore.
