PRESENTING:
From the makers of The Kashmir Files & The Tashkent Files:
THE BENGAL FILES – Teaser Out Now.
If Kashmir hurt you, Bengal will haunt you.
In cinemas on 05 September 2025.
The Bengal Files is written by Vivek Agnihotri and produced by Abhishek Agarwal and Pallavi Joshi. It stars Mithun Chakraborty, Pallavi Joshi, Anupam Kher, and Darshan Kumar. 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. The film will arrive in theatres on September 5, 2025.
Agnihotri known for movies like The Kashmir Files, The Vaccine War, Dhan Dhana Dhan Goal, The Hate Story and others, has grabbed headlines for his bold and controversial statements.
The filmmaker has now taken a dig at Bollywood producers and accused them of hypocrisy and cowardice and claimed that the industry badmouths its lead actors behind closed doors but doesn’t have the courage to criticise them publicly.
“Aukaat hi nahi hai inki, himmat hai karne ki, kar ke dikhayein,” said Agnihotri speaking to Digital Commentary.
His response came around the controversial blockbuster
Animal
featuring Ranbir Kapoor, which has been sparking debate for glorifying misogyny and toxic masculinity.
The filmmaker challenged Bollywood insiders to take the name of one of the producers or directors, who hasn’t spoken negatively in private about a big star. “Do they have the courage to say anything in public? They don’t. So they deserve to suffer,” he said, adding, “Do phir Rs 150 crore ghatiya kaam ke, sadi hui acting ke.”
