The controversial film 'Udaipur Files' will now be released in theaters on 8 August 2025. On Friday, the film's director Bharat Srinet announced its new release date. Earlier, the Supreme Court had directed the Delhi High Court to hear the petitions regarding the approval given for release on July 28.

The film 'Udaipur Files' is based on the murder of tailor Kanhaiya Lal in Udaipur, Rajasthan in 2022. The film made on this sensitive subject has already been in controversy. Director Bharat Srinet told NDTV that the censor board has made 150 cuts in the film, due to which the release of the film was delayed. The film was earlier scheduled to release on July 11, 2025, but its release was banned due to the objection of the censor board and legal disputes. Actor Vijay Raaz is playing the role of Kanhaiya Lal in the film and it is produced by Amit Jani.

Recently, a petition was filed in the Delhi High Court to stop the release of the film, claiming that the film can spread communal tension in the country and disturb the peace. The court had recently banned the release of the film, after which the matter reached the Supreme Court.

On this, director Bharat Srinet told NDTV, "We respect the order of the Supreme Court and are ready to release the film on August 8. Jani Firefox Films will also start promoting the film from August 8 and it will be released worldwide. Truth always wins."
