Mumbai, Aug. 20 -- Filmmaker Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri's directorial 'The Bengal Files', which focuses on the events of the Direct Action Day and the 1946 Calcutta killings, has landed in controversy even before its release.

Actor-turned-politician Mithun Chakraborty discussed the controversy surrounding the trailer launch of 'The Bengal Files' in Kolkata, expressing surprise at the entire ruckus without even watching the film. He also blamed the ruling party in the state, saying everything was "planned".
