<p>In a post shared on his social media, he wrote, “Our trailer launch was blocked. We were attacked and assaulted. Dozens of FIRs were filed against me. I was cancelled in Bengal. I couldn’t even go to receive my award from the governor. But we never gave up. During these elections, we ensured the film was somehow shown to as many people as possible across Bengal. I am glad we didn’t give up and fought in our own little way."</p>

Director Vivek Agnihotri, who has made serious allegations against West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, also accused her of being behind the unofficial ban on his film The Bengal Files. Now, following the BJP’s win in the state, the director has announced the film’s release.

Vivek Agnihotri’s The Bengal Files is set for a re-release in West Bengal. Months after the film faced significant backlash during its initial release. At the time, outgoing Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s Trinamool Congress (TMC) was in power. However, with the BJP now set to form the government after the recent elections, the director has decided to re-release the film. The news of re-release comes after Agnihotri based the outgoing CM and accused her and the her party to assault him and his crew at the time of the movie's release in 2025. The Bengal Files to re-release in West Bengal, check dates. Several reports claimed that The Bengal Files would return to theatres on May 8. However, the director dismissed those reports and confirmed that the film will instead hit screens next Friday, May 15. Based on the Calcutta Riots that took place on August 16, 1946, the makers of the film have been accused of distorting historical facts and misrepresenting historical characters.
