Jamiat Ulema -e -Hind filed a petition in the Delhi High Court against this film based on the Kanhaiyalal murder case in Udaipur. The High Court had imposed an interim stay on the release of the film. The High Court had said that the Central Government should take a decision after considering the case under Section 6 of the Cinematography Act. The producers reached the Supreme Court against it. The Supreme Court also said on July 16 that the filmmaker, Jamiat Ulema -e -Hind and the accused in the murder case, Mohammad Javed’s representative should put their point in front of the first committee.
Kanhaiyalal was murdered in 2022
In June 2022, Kanhaiyalal, who did a tailor working in Udaipur, was brutally murdered by cutting his throat. That day there was a lot of controversy about a statement of BJP leader Nupur Sharma about Prophet Mohammed. Kanhaiyalal shared the post supporting Nupur on social media. So Mohammad Riyaz and Mohammad Gaus killed him. It is alleged that many more people supported the murder.
55 cut order before giving a certificate to the film
The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) ordered 55 cuts before giving a certificate to the film. There were many things like removing the visual and dialogue in these, putting the film a fictional film based on the true incident and saying that the state is just in place of Rajasthan. The manufacturers followed them.
Now the committee of the central government has asked for 6 cuts. This includes changing the disclaimer and showing it with voice over (voice), name of the film’s character Nutan Sharma (the changed name of Nupur Sharma), a dialogue of Nutan Sharma (I said the same) to remove the same. Senior advocate Maneka Guruswami, appearing for the petitioner Mohammad Javed, described it as insufficient. A bench headed by Justice Surya Kant said that it will try to settle the case on Thursday.
