However, I have completed all the necessary preparations for the film, which will release by August. He said, “I have to see that this film is released.”

Let us tell you that in the film The Diary of West Bengal, the increasing influence of Rohingya Muslims and Bangladeshi fundamentalists has been shown in Bengal. The complaint has come after the trailer of the film because it showed that the illegal infiltration is in favor of the state government. The trailer also mentions the incident of 2013 when 200 Hindu houses were burnt. Apart from this, it was also shown how Mamta Banerjee is against the implementation of CAA and NRC in the state.
