Director Vivek Agnihotri is leaving no stones unturned ahead of the release of his upcoming political drama 'The Bengal Files: Right to Life'. In a grand move to ensure maximum visibility, he has attached his new film's trailer to two mega releases of 2025.
As per a source close to the film, Agnihotri’s much-awaited 'The Bengal Files: Right to Life' will debut its two-minute theatrical trailer tomorrow, playing in cinemas nationwide alongside the big Independence weekend releases 'War 2' and 'Coolie'. The full-length trailer will be unveiled at a grand launch in Kolkata on August 16.
Given the hype around Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR's 'War 2' and Rajinikanth's 'Coolie', 'The Bengal Files: Right to Life' trailer will surely get the audience's
attention, generating curiosity. The film was earlier titled, 'The Delhi Files: The Bengal Chapter'. However, Agnihotri later renamed it to 'The Bengal Files: Right to Life'.
The movie 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 earlier-released, spine-chilling teaser of the film shows claims about communal politics, and a man asking who is really independent even after 80 years of independence from British rule.
