"This film is a true reflection of our family's pain and struggle, and the entire country should see it."

More about Kanhaiya Kumar's murder

For the unversed, Kanhaiya Kumar lost his life on June 28, 2022, in Udaipur, Rajasthan. He was murdered by two assailants, who entered his shop and brutally killed him. Reportedly, Kanhaiya was killed as he shared a social media post in support of Indian politician and BJP spokesperson, Nupur Sharma, whose comments on Muhammad created a controversy in 2022.
