After numerous controversies, Vijay Raaz starrer Udaipur Files was released in theatres on Friday (August 8, 2025). The film's producer, Amit Jani, on Saturday, took to X to reveal that he is getting a call from a number repeatedly, and a person is giving him death threats.
He tweeted, "+971566707310 number se lagatar aaj bomb se udaane ki, goli maarne ki dhamki aur gaali galauch ki jaa rhi hai , Ye khud ko Bihar ka rahne wala bata rha hai khud ka naam tabrej bata rha hai ispar mukdma kayam karke isko giraftar kiya jaye (sic)."
Amit Jani later tweeted an application to Noida Police in Hindi. The application read, "Sir, I respectfully submit that today at 1:03 PM and 1:06 PM, I received calls on my mobile number 9760000004 from +971566707310. 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."
