Telugu Producer’s Defamation Suit Against CM?

Noted Telugu producer Abhishek Agarwal, who is quite famous for his Pan India projects such as Karthikeya 2 and Kashmir Files, is mulling over options to file defamation suit against West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee.

Taking to Twitter and responding to director Vivek Agnihotri’s tweet on Mamata Banerjee, Abhishek Agarwal wrote, “Why shouldn’t I file a defamation case and a case of Genocide Denial against you? Btw, the film is called #TheDelhiFiles not Bengal Files. And nobody can silence me.”

In a previous tweet, Agarwal wrote, “Why is there so much hatred against a film which hasn’t even started its shoot? Is it the fear that the public will know the truth behind the Bengal Genocide? Looks like it. #TheDelhiFiles will release in 2024. Research completed, shoot begins soon.”

The Kashmir Files director Vivek Agnihotri had tweeted, “In this video, I guess, @MamataOfficial didi is talking about me. Yes, I came to Bengal to interview survivors of Direct Action Day genocide instigated by Khilafat. And the role of Gopal Patha. Why are you scared? #TheKashmirFiles was about Genocide and terrorism. On what basis do you think it was to defame Kashmiri people? On what basis do you say so maliciously that it is funded by a political party? Why shouldn’t I file a defamation case and a case of Genocide Denial against you? Btw, the film is called #TheDelhiFiles not Bengal Files. And nobody can silence me.”

Will The Kashmir Files makers Abhishek Agarwal and Vivek Agnihotri file defamation against West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee? Let’s see what would be Trinamool Congress leaders’ reaction and where the whole issue ends up.
