Shahid Kapoor and Alia Bhatt starrer Udta Punjab, which is all set to release on June 17, 2016 has landed itself in a major controversy, as the film, which is based on drug abuse in Punjab has not been issued certificate yet by Censor Board of Film Certification and the revising Committee thinks that the film is defamatory to Punjab and therefore, the name from the title should be dropped off.
Well, initially there were only 40 cuts in the film but now censor board has asked to cut the expletives, drug consumption and many scenes and words and even a song, ‘Chitta Ve’.
Anurag Kashyap, one of the producers of Udta Punjab, has been fighting with Censor Board since a very long time for his every film. Meanwhile, Bombay High Court will hear the case of Udta Punjab today after the makers of the film filed a plea against an order of the Review Committee of the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC).
Here’s a list of major cuts demanded by Censor Board in Udta Punjab!
