Babul also tweeted, “As rightly suggested by Honorable @MamataOfficial, if following the formula of ‘one party or non-BJP alliance which is strong in any state, @BJP4India one-to-one’ If done, followed judiciously. , (probably) apart from UP, BJP will be taken to the cleaners in most areas of India.. West Bengal, Himachal, Karnataka are showing the way!! Gods in Mahabharata Krishna had said #Revenge is a pure feeling!!

Responding to this, Vivek tweeted on Monday, “Hey my dear friend (my dear friend) @SuPriyoBabul, kahin aapko aisa to nahi lagta aap Krishna ho (are you considering yourself Krishna)? Koi aapse jhoota Speaking. Your Honorable @MamataOfficial has not responded to my legal notice for lying publicly. Yet. Beware of liars.”

Last week, Vivek opened up about filing a defamation case against CM Mamata Banerjee for her comments against The Kashmir Files. He said that he will not keep quiet any longer and will take strict legal action if his film is being targeted. He told news agency ANI, “I was silent for the last several days. Any chief minister, be it the chief minister of Delhi or a state or a big journalist or a big politician, used to say that The Kashmir Files is propaganda but now whatever I He should come forward and prove which shot or dialogue or frame or scene or fact is wrong as the propaganda is saying. Otherwise I and my producers Abhishek Agarwal and Pallavi Joshi are going to take strict legal action against him.”

Vivek further said, “Mamata Banerjee said that The Kashmir Files and my upcoming film which is based on the Bengal carnage are propaganda. She said that the BJP sponsors and funds the films I make. .. This is a big lie which affects my livelihood.” And it is baseless allegation that mamta ji said under political agenda just to please her vote bank. We have sent legal notice to CM mamta banerjee against her given statement and asked her to prove with facts otherwise it is completely derogatory with the wrong intention”

The filmmaker shared the notice on his Twitter handle and wrote, “I along with Abhishek Agarwal and Pallavi Joshi have sent a legal notice to the Chief Minister of Bengal @MamataOfficial for her false and highly defamatory statements made with the intention of defaming us.” And our films #TheKashmirFiles and the upcoming 2024 film #TheDelhiFiles.”

Amidst the controversy over The Kerala Story, the Chief Minister of West Bengal banned the film saying, “This is to avoid any incidents of hatred or violence”. He also commented on The Kashmir Files saying, “What was The Kashmir Files? It was purely meant to humiliate a particular section of the society. What is the story of Kerala? It is a distorted story.
