A special screening of the film The Bengal Files was organised on Thursday in Mumbai. From Anupam Kher, Mithun Chakraborty to Darshan Kumar, many came together for the screening of Vivek Agnihotri’s directorial film. Produced by Pallavi Joshi and Abhishek Agarwal, is set to release on Friday. However, it is facing problems with the release in West Bengal. Prior to the screening, the makers held a press conference, claiming that theatre owners in Bengal were being ‘threatened by the police’.
Earlier in the day, Pallavi Joshi penned a letter to President Droupadi Murmu and ‘requested her to intervene in this matter’ for the uninterrupted release of the film, The Bengal Files. Pallavi spoke to ANI about the reason behind writing the letter, saying, ‘Our film is not releasing in Bengal. And obviously, when the name of the film is The Bengal Files, a film is being made on Maa Bharati, so it is very important for it to be released in Bengal. And when all the doors were closed for us, this was the only way, so I wrote a letter to the President as a woman. I have requested her to intervene in this matter, so that our film can be released in Bengal in a peaceful manner.” (ANI)
