The promo, shared on Agnihotri鈥檚 social media handles, features emotionally charged snippets from all three films, reinforcing his ongoing cinematic mission to spotlight unspoken chapters of Indian history.

The U.S. leg of the promotional tour will see ten grand premieres starting July 19 in New Jersey and ending on August 10 in Houston. Other cities on the itinerary include Chicago, Atlanta, Washington D.C., Raleigh, Tampa, Phoenix, Los Angeles, and the San Francisco Bay Area. The aim is to build conversation around the film and its themes with an engaged diaspora audience that has previously shown strong support for Agnihotri鈥檚 work.
鈥淭he Never Again tour is more than just a string of premieres; it鈥檚 a call to revisit suppressed truths,鈥 Agnihotri said while unveiling the video, which also includes glimpses from The Bengal Files trailer.
The Bengal Files is written and directed by Agnihotri and produced by Abhishek Agarwal and Pallavi Joshi. Backed by Tej Narayan Agarwal and I Am Buddha, the film features a formidable cast including Mithun Chakraborty, Anupam Kher, Pallavi Joshi, and Darshan Kumar.
As with its predecessors, the film is expected to deal with a politically sensitive and historically overlooked subject. The release is scheduled for September 5, 2025, in Indian theatres.
With momentum already building overseas, Agnihotri鈥檚 latest offering seems poised to generate global dialogue 鈥 not just as a film, but as a cultural reckoning.
