Vivek Agnihotri renames The Delhi Files to The Bengal Files on public demand

Filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri has renamed his upcoming political-drama 'The Delhi Files' on public demand. He shared the new poster of the film based on 1940s communal violence in undivided Bengal on social media. Agnihotri also announced the teaser release date of the new movie from his "Files" trilogy.

The filmmaker, who had earlier shared an announcement video of his film titled 'The Delhi Files: The Bengal Chapter', has now renamed it as 'The Bengal Files: Right to Life.'

It marks the third instalment in Agnihotri's "Files" trilogy, following ‘The Tashkent Files’ (2019) and ‘The Kashmir Files’ (2022). 'The Bengal Files: Right to Life' is based on events like Direct Action Day and the Noakhali riots. Agnihotri has described these incidents as a "Hindu genocide" and aims to shed light on



this often overlooked chapter of Indian history.

The film features a stellar cast, including Mithun Chakraborty, Anupam Kher, Darshan Kumar and Pallavi Joshi in pivotal roles. The filmmaker filmed the political drama in Mumbai instead of Kolkata, due to safety concerns for his team. Earlier, the announcement video of the movie showcased Chakraborty in a haunting first look, walking through an empty corridor with a rugged appearance and a white beard, reciting the Preamble to the Constitution with a burnt tongue.

'The Bengal Files: Right to Life' is written and directed by Agnihotri and produced by Abhishek Agarwal and Pallavi Joshi. The film presented by Tej Narayan Agarwal & I Am Buddha Productions is a part of Vivek’s Files trilogy that includes The Kashmir Files and The Tashkent Files.
