BIG ANNOUNCEMENT: “The Delhi Files” is Now “The Bengal Files” – Teaser Drops June 12!
Renowned filmmaker Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri, the mastermind behind hard-hitting truth-based films like The Kashmir Files and The Vaccine War, has made a major announcement today. His much-anticipated project, previously titled The Delhi Files, will now be released as “The Bengal Files”!
The teaser will be unveiled on June 12, 2025, at 12 PM, and the film is set to hit theaters on September 5, 2025.
In his tweet, Agnihotri shared:
“BIG ANNOUNCEMENT: The Delhi Files is now The Bengal Files. Teaser coming this Thursday, 12 June 2025 at 12 PM. In cinemas on 05 September 2025.”
This sudden name change has sparked immense curiosity among fans and historians alike.
Why the Title Change? Crowdsourcing & Public Feedback Played a Role
Earlier this year, Vivek Agnihotri had crowdsourced research for The Delhi Files, urging historians, researchers, and the public to contribute untold stories from Bengal’s past. The overwhelming response may have influenced the decision to rename the film, ensuring it accurately represents its core subject—Bengal’s suppressed history.
Agnihotri has always emphasized authentic storytelling, and this crowdsourcing initiative allowed him to gather rare documents, eyewitness accounts, and hidden truths that mainstream narratives often ignore.
Is “The Bengal Files” Part of a Two-Part Series?
In a past interview, Agnihotri hinted that the project might be split into two parts. While The Bengal Files will focus on Bengal’s dark historical chapters, there is speculation that The Delhi Files could still be the title of a second installment, possibly covering another unexplored facet of India’s history.
This strategic move aligns with Agnihotri’s vision of exposing buried truths through his “Files” franchise, which includes:
-
The Tashkent Files (2019)
-
The Kashmir Files (2022)
-
The Vaccine War (2023)
Now, The Bengal Files is set to be the next explosive addition.

The Delhi Files is now The Bengal Files. Teaser coming this Thursday, 12 June 2025 at 12 PM.
In cinemas on 05 September 2025.

From Independence Day to September 5: A Shift in Release Date
Initially, The Delhi Files was rumored to release on August 15, 2025 (Independence Day), a symbolic date for a film about historical revelations. However, the final release is now scheduled for September 5, 2025.
The reason behind this shift remains undisclosed, but it could be due to:
-
Extended research and production for a more detailed narrative.
-
Strategic positioning to avoid clashes with other major releases.
-
Possible expansion into a two-part series, requiring more time.
Regardless, the anticipation for the film has only grown stronger.
What to Expect from “The Bengal Files”?
Given Agnihotri’s track record, The Bengal Files is expected to:
✅ Expose suppressed historical events related to Bengal’s past.
✅ Challenge mainstream narratives with documented facts.
✅ Feature powerful performances by actors like Mithun Chakraborty, Pallavi Joshi, and Tej Narayan Agarwal.
✅ Ignite nationwide discussions on historical truth and justice.
The film will likely delve into the 1946 Calcutta Killings (Direct Action Day), the Noakhali riots, and other overlooked tragedies that shaped Bengal’s socio-political landscape.
