The Bengal Files trailer launch stopped by Kolkata Police, alleges Vivek Agnihotri

“All the (media) cameras have captured how a Central Board of Film Certification-approved film’s trailer was stopped. We have got all the permissions. It was being screened in a private place (hotel banquet). This is anarchy, this is dictatorship, this is fascism,” Agnihotri told the media.

The trailer was scheduled to be launched in a leading multiplex in Kolkata. On Friday Agnihotri alleged that the event was cancelled. The film’s team then decided to launch it in a hotel on Saturday.

“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?” Agnihotri wrote on X on Friday.
