Abhishek Agarwal On The Bengal Files’ Title Change

When asked why was the film’s title changed from The Delhi Files: The Bengal Chapter to The Bengal Files, the film’s producer said, “So initially the plan was to show the film in two parts, we decided first we’ll show Delhi Files: The Bengal Chapter and then the second chapter. But that would have created confusion amongst the audience because the film is primarily based on Bengal so why are we telling the audience Delhi, why are we causing miscommunication..”

He continued, “Then we also asked the audience about it and they said if the film is based on Bengal then why are you naming it The Delhi Files. There would often be a discussion about this during the shoot of the film but in the end we all thought the title should be The Bengal Files”
