The caller identified himself as Mohammad Tabrez from Bihar and threatened me, saying that they would blow me up along with my car with a bomb because I had portrayed their Prophet Mohammad Sahab incorrectly in my film and insulted him. He further threatened to bury me alive. The caller also mentioned that the Home Ministry has provided me with Y-category security and challenged me, saying that if I am a true son of my father, I should report his call to the Home Ministry. I request you, sir, to kindly register a case against the person who issued these threats (sic)."

Udaipur Files Controversy

Udaipur Files is based on the murder of a tailor named Kanhaiya Lal Sahu. The incident had taken place in 2022, and petitions were filed to ban the release of the movie. However, the Central government cleared the film on August 6, and the makers decided to release it on August 8.

Updaipur Files Review

The Free Press Journal reviewer gave the film 2 stars and wrote, "Udaipur Files is a well-intentioned movie; it does tell a true story. But it is a badly made film. A better narration, good production value, and most importantly, some talented actors would have made this film watchable."
