Actor Sasavata Chatterjee recently said in an interview that he was unaware of why the title was replaced from ‘The Deli Files’ to ‘The Bengal Files’. He further said that he was just an actor and cannot investigate the political purity of the story. He also emphasized the current trend of the directors, which were not describing the whole story, but only their characters.

In an interview with WallChatterjee was asked if he was scared as ‘Bengal files’ cannot be released in West Bengal. “I don’t know. Let me tell you this. Nowadays, this is a trend, the whole story will not be told to anyone. You only know your track, your character. And when I was told about the role, I found the character amazing. It is a character of a villain and very few people get such characters to play,” he said.

Saying that he does not know the reason behind the title change of the film, Chatterjee said, “When the shooting was going on, the film’s name was ‘Delhi files’ and after the shooting was completed, I came to know that it had turned into ‘Bengal files’. It is not in my hands.”

He further said that he would never know why this change happened until he sees films. “I won’t understand why this happened until I watch the film. And even if someone thinks … making noise will not help,” they explained.

Sasavata Chatterjee also said that he is not a historian, who comments on whether a film is misinterpreting history. “I am just an actor. I liked a character and I played it. I am not a historian to think what history says and it is distorting history. It is not my job. If people who feel that Bengal feels that Bengal feels that Bengal has faith, they can go to court with information. Never mind.
