The legal saga surrounding Vivek Agnihotri and Pallavi Joshi, the filmmakers behind the upcoming movie "The Bengal Files," continues as they reportedly move to court seeking the dismissal of a First Information Report (FIR). "The Bengal Files," is slated to release on September 5, 2025.

Agnihotri is known for films that tackle emotionally and politically charged chapters of Indian history. His previous works, "The Tashkent Files" and "The Kashmir Files," have stirred considerable debate, with "The Kashmir Files" achieving significant box office success in 2022. "The Bengal Files" is the third and final installment in Agnihotri's "Files Trilogy". The film explores the communal violence in undivided Bengal during the 1940s, including events like the 1946 Direct Action Day and the Noakhali riots of 1946.

The film's release is preceded by a promotional tour across the United States, titled the "Never Again Tour," which commenced on July 19 in New Jersey and will conclude on August 10 in Houston. This tour involves premieres and discussions aimed at engaging the Indian diaspora and those interested in the film's subject matter.

The cast includes Mithun Chakraborty, Anupam Kher, Pallavi Joshi, and other seasoned actors. The tagline, "If Kashmir hurt you, Bengal will haunt you," suggests another intense story with layers of politics and pain. According to director Vivek Agnihotri, the film focuses on the communal violence in Bengal during the 1940s, particularly the Direct Action Day riots and their aftermath.
