Director Vivek Agnihotri, known for his meticulous research approach, is delving deep into the complex realities of the India-Bangladesh border for his upcoming film, "The Delhi Files." His recent social media post shared BTS images from his research trip, providing a glimpse into the immersive process behind his film.
Agnihotri's visit to the border, where he interviewed villagers and documented the socio-political dynamics, revealed a region deeply intertwined with Bangladesh's political landscape. He observed a blurring of national identities and a gradual erosion of Hindu cultural markers, leading him to conclude that "Two Indias" exist within India. He highlighted the vulnerability of West Bengal and the potential for "forced demography change" to be exploited for political gain.
This research trip is a continuation of Agnihotri's extensive exploration for "The Delhi Files," which began in 2020. He has meticulously studied historical and social events, interviewing locals across India, and gathering information from countless books, articles, and archival documents. His commitment to authenticity is evident in his rigorous approach, ensuring the film's narrative reflects the complexities of the subject matter.
Following the success of "The Kashmir Files," Agnihotri once again collaborates with producer Abhishek Agarwal Arts for this impactful project. The Delhi Files promises to be another thought-provoking film, shedding light on sensitive and relevant issues, while meticulously researched to ensure historical and social accuracy.
