Delhi HC to hear petitions against 'Udaipur Files' release
The Delhi High Court is set to hear petitions on July 30 challenging the release of "Udaipur Files - Kanhaiya Lal Tailor Murder."
Petitioners, following Supreme Court guidance, are questioning why the government allowed the film's release.
Meanwhile, the filmmakers have asked the CBFC for fresh certification.
Why all the buzz?
The film is facing pushback from Jamiat Ulema-i-Hind president Maulana Arshad Madani and Mohd Javed, with Mohd Javed connected to Udaipur tailor Kanhaiya Lal's murder case from June 2022.
The government did approve its release—but only after asking for some scenes to be cut and disclaimers updated.
With a criminal trial still ongoing in Jaipur, this court hearing could shape what happens next for the movie.
