Vivek Agnihotri says The Bengal Files trailer launch in WB was cancelled due to political pressure: I can't be silenced

Filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri has launched a scathing criticism on West Bengal authorities after the trailer launch for his upcoming film The Bengal Files was cancelled in the city. Taking to X (formerly Twitter) on Friday, Vivek shared a video in which he shared the update with his fans and followers. He said that the event was cancelled by a leading movie theatre chain, a day before the scheduled event in Kolkata. Vivek Agnihotri's Bengal Files features Anupam Kher and Mithun Chakraborty in lead roles. Vivek Agnihotri on The Bengal Files trailer launch in Kolkata Vivek, who had already arrived in Kolkata with his team, shared that he had initially planned to unveil the trailer in a traditional way at a cinema hall on Friday. However, it was cancelled by the organisers. "We had all the permissions and writing in correspondence for the launch. So our entire team came to Kolkata, but now we have to come to know that the event has been cancelled," he said in a video. Vivek says theatre chain claimed 'political pressure' Vivek added that the theatre chain claimed "political pressure" as the reason behind the event's cancellation, as they didn't want "political turmoil." He added, "This is very sad. It is a very sad commentary on our democracy. Are their two constitutions in India, one for Indians and the other for West Bengal?" He added that the trailer will be launched in Kolkata without any delay. The film's team informed HT that the trailer launch will now take place on Saturday at a 5-star hotel in the city. Vivek seeks support from fans Sharing the video, Vivek captioned it, "Just landed in Kolkata and learnt that the venue for the trailer launch of #TheBengalFiles is cancelled. Who wants to suppress our voice? And why? But I can't be silenced. Because truth can't be silenced. Trailer will be launched in Kolkata. Please share this video and support our free speech." Vivek visits Kalighat Temple after cancellation Vivek visited the Kalighat Temple in Kolkata on Friday evening. Speaking to news agency ANI, Vivek said that he has sought Goddess Kali's blessings for his film and will succeed in launching the trailer on Saturday. "Today, I have come to seek the blessings of Maa, and with her blessings, no one can stop this film," he shared. About The Bengal Files Written and directed by Vivek, the film is produced by him, Abhishek Agarwal, and Pallavi Joshi. The cast features Mithun Chakraborty, Anupam Kher, Darshan Kumar, and Pallavi Joshi. It is focused on the events of the Direct Action Day. The Bengal Files is scheduled for release on September 5.

Raj Kundra addresses ‘PR stunt' criticism after offering kidney to Premanand Maharaj: ‘Judge less, love more'

Actor Shilpa Shetty and her businessman husband Raj Kundra were recently in the news for alleged financial fraud. On Friday, a video of the couple's visit to Vrindavan surfaced in which Raj offered his kidney to Premanand Maharaj, leaving Shilpa shocked. After criticism about it being a 'PR stunt', Raj took to social media to clarify. Here's what he said. (Also Read: Raj Kundra offers his kidney to Premanand Maharaj during visit to ashram in Mathura, Shilpa Shetty is shocked) Businessman Raj Kundra was recently in the news after being accused of financial fraud. (Raju Shinde/HT) Raj Kundra asks people to judge less Raj posted a note on Instagram and X (formerly Twitter), writing that it's strange how his offering a kidney is being mocked as a stunt. He wrote, 'Strange world we live in when someone chooses to offer a part of themselves to save another's life, it's mocked as a PR stunt. If compassion is a stunt, may the world see more of it. If humanity is a strategy, may more people adopt it. I'm not defined by labels the media or trolls throw at me.' He also philosophically added that he does not think his past can cancel his present, writing, 'My past does not cancel my present choices, and my present intentions are not for you to measure with your cynicism. Judge less, love more you might just save a life too. #RadheRadhe #HumanityFirst #LetGoodnessLive.' Raj Kundra addressed criticism of the surfaced video being part of PR. In the video that surfaced on Friday, Shilpa and Raj are seen listening to Premanand Maharaj as he reveals that both his kidneys have failed and that he's been living with the condition for 10 years. Hearing this, Raj offers the Maharaj his kidney, leaving Shilpa surprised. While the Maharaj appreciated his goodwill, he turned down the offer. The fraud case against Raj Kundra, Shilpa Shetty Businessman Deepak Kothari has accused Raj and Shilpa of cheating him out of ₹60 crore between 2015 and 2023. He alleged that money taken from him to expand their business was used for personal expenses. The Economic Offences Wing (EOW) is conducting an investigation. Advocate Prashant Patil released a statement to the press on behalf of Shilpa and Raj, claiming the allegations were 'baseless' and 'malicious'.
