TMC leader Kunal Ghosh denied director Vivek Agnihotri's claims of political pressure behind backlash for 'The Bengal Files' in Kolkata. He said, "There's no political pressure...Vivek thinks that no one in Bengal knows anything [or] who's creating what provocation in name of film." He added, "If the theatre owners take any decision...[to] not promote provocative thing...then it's their decision."
