A day after \u2018Udaipur Files\u2019 was released in theatres across India, producer Amit Jani claimed that he has been receiving \u201cdeath threats” over the film. In an X post on Saturday, Jani stated that he has been getting repeated calls from an unknown number, with the caller threatening to kill him with a bomb or shoot him.<\/p>\n

Jani added that the caller introduced himself as Tabrez, a resident of Bihar. In his post, Jani urged the authorities to register a case against Tabrez and arrest him. Take a look at the producer\u2019s post here:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Last month, the Central government granted \u2018Y\u2019-category armed security cover to the Udaipur Files producer in Delhi and Uttar Pradesh. It came days after the Supreme Court allowed the producer to approach the police and seek protection as he alleged a threat to his life. Y-category security includes a detail of 8 to 11 personnel, including commandos, to protect the individual around the clock.<\/p>\n

The film was released across India on Friday, August 8, after the Delhi High Court on Thursday gave the go-ahead. It was initially slated for release on July 11, but faced many delays due to censorship and legal troubles. The Supreme Court had directed the Delhi High Court to address challenges against the government\u2019s approval of the film\u2019s release.<\/p>\n

The movie is based on the 2022 murder of Kanhaiya Lal, a tailor, who was brutally killed in broad daylight in his shop in Udaipur, Rajasthan, by two men for allegedly sharing a social media post in support of former BJP member Nupur Sharma following her controversial comments on Prophet Mohammed during a debate show on a private news channel.<\/p>\n

According to police reports from 2022, the prime accused, Mohammad Riaz Attari and Ghaus Mohammad, entered Lal\u2019s shop pretending to get clothes stitched before attacking him with a knife and slitting his throat. They recorded the brutal murder and circulated the video on social media, claiming responsibility for the heinous act, which triggered national outrage and raised serious concerns about radicalisation and communal violence.<\/p>\n

The accused were booked under the stringent Unlawful Activities Prevention Act, besides provisions under the Indian Penal Code (IPC). Initially, the case was probed by the Rajasthan police, but later the National Investigation Agency (NIA) took over it. The trial is pending before the special NIA court in Jaipur. The film starring Vijay Raaz in the lead role is directed by Bharat S Shrinate and Jayant Sinha, and produced by Amit Jani.<\/p>\n
