It's A People's Film: Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri Addresses Nation On The Delhi Files: The Bengal Chapter
New Delhi: Renowned filmmaker Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri has once again stirred public discourse with the announcement of his upcoming film, The Delhi Files: The Bengal Chapter. Known for tackling hard-hitting truths, Agnihotri addressed the nation through a social media video, offering a glimpse into the film's premise and inviting citizens to contribute to its research. Describing the film as a 'people's film,' Agnihotri called for public inputs, especially concerning Direct Action Day—a key historical moment central to the narrative. He revealed that this project marks the culmination of a four-year journey that began with Bengal Sinister, a political research initiative focused on genocide. In the video, Agnihotri poses a provocative question: "Is Bengal going to become another Kashmir?"—suggesting the film will serve as both a warning and a wake-up call. Alongside actress-producer Pallavi Joshi and their team, Agnihotri has carried out extensive fieldwork, documenting testimonies from Bengal residents—some nearing a century in age—and analysing archival materials including books and newspaper reports. In his caption accompanying the video, the filmmaker wrote: 'ATTENTION: We are crowdsourcing research for our upcoming film on Bengal. If you want to contribute in the making of history, this is your chance. I've asked an important question at the end, watch till the end and please answer. And don't forget to share.'

Rakul Preet Singh: I'm positive that the industry is going to bounce back soon
The Hindi film industry is going through a challenging time right now, with many big films bringing in big losses. Filmmakers like Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri, Hansal Mehta and Anurag Kashyap have recently spoken up about the reinvention that the industry needs. Acknowledging the current phase, actor Rakul Preet Singh says, 'It is an uncertain time and even the number of films being made have reduced. But you have to keep working.' Ask her how she adjusts her process and mindset as an artiste in these uncertain times and she says, 'You need to have faith in yourself. You've to remind yourself about why you are doing this and I always do that. Today we're talking about a scenario that there are lesser films and lesser work, but there was also a time, 12-13 years back when I started auditioning or standing in Aram Nagar queues, where there was no work. But I had the belief that I will crack it. So today, I need to reiterate that in my head that even if times are tough, you will sail through and do it well.' The actor adds, 'I'm not saying that I'm the most talented or the prettiest, but I know I'm the most hard-working. I know that if your intention towards your work is right, the universe will make it happen for you. I believe in that, and I just leave it to the universe.' Talking about her belief and where it comes from and she says, 'When you've started from ground zero, you have nothing. You don't have anyone to tell you don't do this, how to dress up or what you should do. The only thing you walk into a room with is self-belief and that belief is going to continue. That is why I don't succumb to these situations. Sometimes you may feel like things are not happening and it's normal to feel. But then the next day you just rise up and say, what more can I do? I've got that attitude of a fauji, 'uthega jawan, ladega jawan'.' And she is already seeing things changing for the better: 'This is a temporary phase, things are starting to get better, and by next year, we'll all be in a much better place. I'm very positive that the industry is going to bounce back, look at the number of hits we've already had. It means people are going to theatres.'
