Udta Punjab Fuelled with Controversies

Talented director Abhishek Chaubey came up with Udta Punjab which discusses about the drug mafia and the substance abuse. Shahid Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor, Diljit Dosanjh and Alia Bhatt played the lead roles in the movie which has been facing huge troubles from the member of the censor board.

The movie has been troubled by the censor board as they suggested 89 cuts which left the makers in deep shock. They even asked the makers to remove the word Punjab from the title as they felt that it would defame the state. However this made a huge impact on the film’s release date as the makers were not happy with the proceedings of the censor board members.

Anurag Kashyap along with his team approached the Information and Broadcasting Ministry along with the Film Certificate Appellate Tribunal (FCAT) requesting them to solve the issue. As this takes some time, the makers have now postponed the release of the film. Udta Punjab will now hit the screens on July 17^th all over. On the other side Anurag Kashyap took twitter to reveal about the movie. He said

“I always wondered what it felt like to live in North Korea .. Ab to plane pakadney ki bhi zaroorat nahin..Joseph Ka Mukadama was a Hindi play adaptation of which famous Czech novel?? We are back there.. There is no film more honest than UDTA PUNJAB .. And any person or party opposing it is actually GUILTY of promoting drugs. I request Congress, AAP and other political parties to stay out of my battle. It's my Rights vs the Censorship. I speak only on my behalf. It's my fight Vs a dictatorial man sitting there operating like an oligarch in his constituency of censor board, that's my North Korea. Rest of you go pick your own fights. I will fight mine. So please don't colour my fight with any political affiliation because there is none. All the trolls referring to Paanch and BF and others.. Sorry they had not invented Twitter then you idiots. Fight was the same. However much the trolls try to distract.. Fight with censors has always been there.. There was more faith now that was unfounded. FYI I have fought the UPA more on censorship issues than the NDA. But you know what , there was no Nihalani then. So the paid trolls can FO. And it's pathetic that the party supported and paid trolls are trying to make me look like an agent of congress or AaP. Where as I have been working closely with this ministry and the MOS mr. Rathore on the censorship issues. And I have all our texts and messages saved so if the govt is trying to make there incompetence look good then they've picked a wrong person. & stop taking out list of cuts made for television of my adult films to show as censored portions of my film to prove a non-existing point”.
