NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court is set to hear petitions related to the controversial film "Udaipur Files" on Wednesday, amid ongoing legal and political tussles over its release.

The film, slated to be released worldwide on July 11, revolves around the brutal murder of Kanhaiya Lal, a tailor in Rajasthan’s Udaipur, in June 2022 by Mohammad Riyaz Attari and Ghaus Mohammad by slitting his throat.

A bench comprising Justice Suryakant and Justice Joymala Bagchi will hear two key petitions. One has been filed by film producer Amit Johnny, who has challenged the Delhi High Court’s interim order that stayed the release of the film.
