Film distributor turned producer Abhishek Agarwal has become a famous figure across the nation with his pan-Indian flick ‘The Kashmir Files’. Directed by Vivek Agnihotri, this movie created a lot of buzz and showcased the brutality faced by the Kashmiri Pundits. The movie won the hearts of many and collected more than 200 crores at the box office. The combination of Abhishek Agarwal and Vivek Agnihotri are making another film too.
Recently, Abhishek created havoc on the internet when he said that he is ready to take legal action of West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. Vivek Agnihotri shared a video clip of what Mamata Banerjee said and Abhishek responded to this by saying, “Why shouldn’t I file a defamation case and a case of Genocide Denial against you? Btw, the film is called #TheDelhiFiles not Bengal Files. And nobody can silence me.†In another tweet, he wrote, “Why is there so much hatred against a film which hasn’t even started its shoot? Is it the fear that the public will know the truth behind the Bengal Genocide? Looks like it. #TheDelhiFiles will release in 2024. Research completed, shoot begins soon.”
Sharing the video of Bengal Chief Minister, Vivek Agnihotri stated, “In this video, I guess, @MamataOfficial didi is talking about me. Yes, I came to Bengal to interview survivors of Direct Action Day genocide instigated by Khilafat. And the role of Gopal Patha. Why are you scared? #TheKashmirFiles was about Genocide and terrorism. On what basis do you think it was to defame Kashmiri people? On what basis do you say so maliciously that it is funded by a political party? Why shouldn’t I file a defamation case and a case of Genocide Denial against you? Btw, the film is called #TheDelhiFiles not Bengal Files. And nobody can silence me.”
With the producer and director directly aiming for Mamata Banerjee herself, we need to wait and see how this war of words unfolds in the coming days.
