My agenda is to show the full truth by revealing the semi-truth of society.

Vivek said that the purpose of his film Bengal files was not influenced by any election or political agenda. Initially it was called the Delhi Files Bengal Chapter, but later it was called Bengal files for the clarity of the audience to clear the truth of the film. Decide to make Bengal files because the division of Bengal was untouched and unhappy about the modern politics of India. The atrocities with families in Bengal were the story of history suppressed to date. The mainstream filmmakers ignored this historical trauma, so they found it necessary to show it to the audience. He talked about the distribution of Bengal and said that even today many people are afraid to talk about it.

Left -wing ideology attracted the left life in student life, in student life I felt an attraction for leftist ideology. But gradually it understood that the student movement was being abused. The left lobby was the brain tumor the students and made them anti -national. Rebeld thinking was limited in universities. Vivek made it clear that his ideology is not associated with the change of any government, but that over time he understands the truth and faces the truth.
