\r\nMithun Chakraborty attacks pseudo secularists over Bengal Files. Mithun Chakraborty is playing an important role in Bengal Files directed by Vivek Agnihotri. The film which is releasing on 5 Sep 2025 is generating huge controversy with the Bengal government stalling even the film\'s trailer release event.\r\nIn the midst of all this, Mithun Chakraborty blasted the opponents. He said \"Yes, it&rsquo;s hard-hitting as well as a film that portrays truth on the screen. All this happened before I was born. Six generations don&rsquo;t know the story. Even I knew only one line about it &mdash;&lsquo;The Great Kolkata Killings.&rsquo; The stopping of the trailer release seems to have been planned. Why stop the release of something you haven&rsquo;t even seen? What is the harm in knowing the facts about that happened in our country? Almost 40,000 Hindus were massacred in a genocide at Noakhali. Why are there objections to people of our country learning about our own history?:\r\nHe continued \"I didn&rsquo;t choose to be part of Bengal Files just because I am a Bengali. Initially, I didn&rsquo;t know how I could play this character as he had a very tough life &mdash; his tongue was burned; he lived in and around garbage bins, eating food scrounged from them. I had to speak with a stammer. Gradually, I picked up certain nuances that suited the character, and I became very excited.\"\r\nOn films being branded as propaganda films, he said \"Why it is called a propaganda film? There are pseudo-secular and pseudo-intellectual people. &ldquo;Yeh log secular kaise hai jabki ek beef khata hai ur ek pork khata hai? Secularism toh woh hoga jo dono [food] khayege.&rdquo;\r\nSharing his view on Shantanu Mukherji, grandson of Gopal Chandra Mukherji, who featured in the Great Kolkata Killings,filing an FIR claiming that his grandfather&rsquo;s identity has been distorted, Mithun said \"I don&rsquo;t think we have distorted his identity. Having said that, Yes, as filmmakers, we do take cinematic liberty. He has the right to ask questions\"\r\n
