New Delhi [India], August 5 (ANI): Amid the growing controversy surrounding the release of 'Udaipur Files', the film's producer, Amit Jani, said he had met with officials on August 4 and hoped for the release of the film soon.

Speaking to ANI, Jani said, 'We came before when Mohd. Javed and Maulana Arshad Madani filed their petitions and presented their cases, and now we meet again. We hope that the government can make a positive decision and we can release the film.'

The producer stated that his team is ready to agree with the government's decision, adding, 'We even added the cuts as suggested earlier. We believe in the government and had no problems.'

On being asked if the release of 'Udaipur Files' will be delayed, Jani said that the original plans for the film's theatrical opening have been scheduled for August 8, 2025. 'If the government permits us to go ahead, it will come out on August 8,' he said.

The film producer shared that the discussions with the officials were held on Section 6 of the Cinematograph Act, 1952.

'They shared the government's points on the matter, and we have given our response,' the producer stated.

According to the Information and Broadcasting Ministry, Section 6 allows the government to cancel the certification of a film by the Censor Board and suspend its exhibition.

The Additional Solicitor General (ASG) informed the Delhi High Court on Friday that the Central Government has decided to withdraw its directive recommending six cuts in the film 'Udaipur Files'. Noting the statement given by the Additional Solicitor General (ASG), the Delhi High Court disposed of two petitions seeking a stay on the release of the movie.

The film 'Udaipur Files: Kanhaiya Lal Tailor Murder' has been in headlines lately, since the Delhi High Court ordered a stay on its release on July 11. The film is based on the 2022 murder of Kanhaiya Lal, a tailor in Rajasthan's Udaipur who was brutally killed by two men in broad daylight. (ANI)
