Vivek Agnihotri, Anupam Kher and Pallavi Joshi talk about the film

Producer and Director Vivek Agnihotri said, “The Bengal Files is not just a film; it’s a reminder. It’s about the forgotten chapters of our collective conscience and the price of silence. Through this story, we wanted to bring Bengal’s pain, courage and truth to the forefront. I’m glad that, through ZEE5, this story will now reach every home — every viewer who wants to know what really happened.”

Actor Anupam Kher said, “Some stories stay with you forever, and The Files trilogy is one of them. This isn’t just about history — it’s about humanity. When I read the script, I felt an ache that only truth can cause. Portraying this role was emotionally exhausting yet deeply fulfilling. Films like this remind us that courage is not just about standing up in battle, it’s also about standing up for truth. I believe every viewer who watches The Bengal Files on ZEE5 will feel the same intensity, the same silence, and the same power that we felt while making it.”

Producer and Actor Pallavi Joshi said, “Each film in the Files Trilogy has been an emotional and artistic awakening for us. With The Bengal Files wanted to capture a truth buried under decades of denial. Every performance, every scene is rooted in reality and emotion. I’m proud that ZEE5 is taking this story to a wider audience who can now experience it beyond the big screen.”
