The Delhi Files will complete Agnihotri's Files trilogy, which includes The Tashkent Files and The Kashmir Files. Earlier, in an exclusive interview with a media house, he said 'I could have called it Bengal Files because the film is about direct action day in Bengal and how the politics of Bengal has influenced India," Vivek Agnihotri told India Today Digital during an exclusive interview. He added, "The reason we called it Delhi Files is because the destiny of India is written in Delhi and not in Bengal. Bengal has suffered because of what happened in Delhi in the 1940s. But yes, the film mostly deals with direct action day, Noakhali and what happened in Bengal.

The Delhi Files: The Bengal Chapter will be released in two parts. The first part will release on Independence Day 2025
