Director Vivek Agnihotri’s most awaited film The Bengal Files has got stuck in a legal tussle. Recently its trailer was released, after which more controversy has started regarding the movie. At the same time, according to new reports, Gopal Mukherjee’s grandson Shantanu Mukherjee has filed an FIR against the film.
Actually, Gopal Mukherjee was a Bengali warrior, who was portrayed wrongly in the film and due to this his grandson has lodged a complaint with the police.
The trailer of the film The Bengal Files was recently released in Kolkata. In this trailer, Bengali warrior Gopal Mukherjee was shown as Ek Tha Kasai Gopal Patha. After this, his grandson Shantanu Mukherjee claimed that his grandfather’s image has been shown wrongly, he was a wrestler and not a butcher by profession.
He played an important role in stopping the Muslim League riots in 1946. Shantanu said – “My grandfather was called Kashai (which means butcher) and Patha (which means goat), which is insulting, but it does not mean that he should be presented like this in the movie. I think Vivek should have done more research on this. Where did he get this wrong information from? He never even contacted us. That’s why we are protesting and will continue to do so. We have sent him a legal notice and have also lodged an FIR.”
Talking about Vivek Agnihotri’s film The Bengal Files, it shows Hindu-Muslim riots. This is the story of the time when Gandhi and Jinnah lived in the country and a war broke out between the two over Bengal. Jinnah wanted a part of Bengal, which Gandhi was against. In such a situation, riots broke out between Hindus and Muslims and this is what is shown in the film. Let us tell you that the release date of the film is September 5, but its release may be stopped due to legal troubles.
However, there is no fresh information about this from the makers. The movie stars Anupam Kher, Mithun Chakraborty, Pallavi Joshi, Darshan Kumar, Simrat Kaur, Saswata Chatterjee, Namashi Chakraborty, Rajesh Khera, Puneet Issar, Priyanshu Chatterjee, Dibyendu Bhattacharya, Saurav Das and Mohan Kapoor.
