Bengal Files is facing turmoil in West Bengal. Various political tensions, including the trailer launch being blocked and the cast backing down from their responsibilities, are constantly coming to the fore.
In such a situation, veteran actor Victor Banerjee wants the film to be released in Bengal.
Concerned Victor Banerjee Appeals To The President
Actor Victor Banerjee recently made a special appeal to the President of India. He has requested the President to ensure that the film is released peacefully and that the artists and viewers can watch the movie without any obstacles. He fears that the release of the film may be blocked due to political reasons. The actor believes that blocking a work of art means interfering with the artist's freedom and, at the same time, taking away the right of the audience to know.
The Trailer Launch Of Bengal Files Stopped In Bengal
A few days ago, the trailer launch of The Bengal Files in Kolkata was suddenly stopped. The producers have alleged that this was an illegal and intentional interference. This incident has further increased Victor Banerjee's concerns. He believes that if there are issues with the trailer's release, the main film's release will likely face even greater challenges.
Reluctance Of Hall Owners To Show The Film
Some renowned cinema hall owners in West Bengal have already said that they are not ready to show the film. The authorities of a popular single-screen hall have directly said, "We do not want to get into any political trouble. So this film will not be shown in our hall." However, they have admitted that their doors are always open for Bengali films.
Uncertainty Surrounding The Release Of The Bengal Files
Another hall owner, who did not want to share his name, said there is a lot of political pressure on The Bengal Files. He said they will only know on the morning of September 5 how many shows they can actually run. Everything depends on politics and the law and order. So, now we know that the film’s release is not just about what the audience wants.
