Nupur Sharma's statement removed: Film producer
The lawyer on behalf of the producer of the film 'Udaipur Files' said that Nupur Sharma's statement has been removed. The lawyer of the film producer said that the story of the film is based on the story of India-Pakistan.

This is not a film on any particular community, but on a particular crime: CBFC
At the same time, speaking on behalf of the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), Additional Solicitor General (ASG) Chetan Sharma said that you should watch the film. This is not a film on any particular community, but on a particular crime. The whole story is that the seeds of communal animosity are being sown and spread from across the border in a planned manner.
Sharna said the statement of the communities 'We all should live together' has been included in the film. On this, the High Court asked what does this have to do with the film? Sharma said that the film cautions the people here. This is a film based on crime. We all should live together, this is the story of this film.
Chetan Sharma said that the CBFC board is aware of the fact that a particular community should not be targeted in general or in particular. The subject of the film is not a community, but crime. The reference to Deoband has been changed. The reference to Nupur Sharma or Gyanvapi has been removed.
Film is nothing but defaming a community: Sibal
At the same time, senior advocate Kapil Sibal, while presenting his argument before the court, said that we have seen the film for the first time. The filmmaker's lawyer says that the film has nothing to do with any community, but I say that the film is nothing but defaming a community.
Sibal said that the film is full of violence and hatred and targets a community. A community has been shown as if it represents the evils of the society. The person who has made this film, his background is published in an English newspaper today, which shows what he did in the past.
Sibal said that the film starts with a scene where a man from a particular community throws a piece of meat at the place of another community and in another scene the police arrests students belonging to a particular community.
