Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri is gearing up for his next project titled: The Bengal Files. The trailer has already been released by Zee Studios, featuring communal violence and aggressive scenes. The film is set to hit big screens on September 5, 2025. Following the trailer, audiences are eager to know the real-life events that inspired this powerful story.
The Bengal Files Is Inspired By A Real-Life Story
The Bengal Files seems to be an inspiration from a real-life incident that took place during the partition between Indian and Pakistan. One of the major events was the Direct Action, where thousands were killed in a riot between Hindu-Muslim. As per Daily Jagran, on July 29, 1946, Muhammad Ali Jinnah declared August 16 as the Direct Action Day. On this day, the All-India Muslim League made a direct demand for the creation of Pakistan and protested against the British government.
Before the direct action day, Jinnah already put everyone on notice by asserting that they were ready to use any means to get their demands fulfilled. One of the dialogues from his presential speech is “I am not prepared to discuss ethics. We have a pistol and are in a position to use it”. Even after the ‘Direct Action’ resolution was passed, Jinnah marked it as the most historic act in history.
