⦁    Remove the frames in the credits that thank various individuals.
⦁    Revise the AI-generated scene depicting a Saudi Arabia-style turban
⦁    Replace all instances of the name 'Nutan Sharma,' including on the poster, with a new name.
⦁    Delete Nutan Sharma's dialogue: "... maine toh wohi kaha hai jo unke dharma granthi mein likha hai..."
⦁    Remove the following dialogues

1. Hafiz: "Baluchi kabhi vafadaar nahi hota..."
2. Makbool: "... baluchi ki..." and "...arre kya baluchi kya afghai kya Hindustani kya Pakistani...".

What is the shocking Kanhaiya Lal murder case that inspired the Vijay Raaz starrer?

According to the makers, Udaipur Files: Kanhaiya Lal Tailor Murder is based on the horrifying real-life incident of the brutal murder of Kanhaiya Lal Sahu in Udaipur. This film dives deep into the events, the silence, the outrage and the battle for justice. The murder of Kanhaiya Lal Sahu, 40, in 2022, sent shockwaves in Udaipur as well as the rest of India. He was hacked to death at his tailoring shop in the busy Hathipole area by two cleaver-wielding men for allegedly supporting a social media post against Islam.

When will Udaipur Files release?

Earlier, the movie was scheduled to release in the theatres on July 11, but owing to the case against the release of the movie, it was delayed. Now, the film is likely to release in the first week of August, but we will have to wait for the final confirmation. The film stars Vijay Raaz, Rajneesh Duggal and Preeti Jhangiani in lead roles.
