A special screening of the film "The UP Files" was organized for Union Minister Ramdas Athawale in Mumbai. The event was attended by Shri Ramdas Athawale and Manoj Joshi, who is playing a lead role for the first time in his three-decade career. Directed by Neeraj Sahai and produced by Kuldeep Umraosingh Ostwal, "The UP Files" is set to release in theaters on July 26, 2024.
After watching the film, Ramdas Athawale said, "This is a very good film. It depicts the reality of Uttar Pradesh. It shows how the lawlessness in Uttar Pradesh was brought to an end. There was a significant increase in lawlessness in UP, but when Yogi Adityanath became the Chief Minister, he used bulldozers to eradicate the crime. Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar's constitution is what every citizen must follow, and this film conveys that message. Those who do not abide by the law will not fare well. The main actor, Manoj Joshi, has performed excellently. I congratulate all the actors, the producer, the director, and all the technicians associated with 'The UP Files'."
Manoj Joshi expressed his gratitude to Union Minister Ramdas Athawale and said, "There is a dialogue in this film that says, ' बाबा साहेब अंबेडकर के संविधान की कद्र, न एक इंच इधर न एक इंच उधर .' The film showcases how UP's Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath is continuously striving to improve the state, and his efforts are leading Uttar Pradesh towards a better future. I am very grateful to the producer and director for giving me this role because the entire film rests on my shoulders. I thoroughly enjoyed playing this role. I want people from every state to watch 'The UP Files.' It's an excellent film, and I hope all the viewers will like it."
