The upcoming Bollywood flick ‘Udta Punjab’ starring Shahid Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Alia Bhatt and the pUnjabi star Diljit Dosangh, is going through alot of ups and down. Where on one hand the fans and the audience is eagerly waiting for the release of the movie after they saw the smacking trailer and the song featuring Shahid Kapoor ‘Chitta Ve’, on the other hand is the censor board with all the obligations.
The Censor Board’s Revising Committee told the producers of the movie ‘Udta Punjab’ on Friday that they cannot have a reference of the state Punjab in the movie. What? Why not? We bet you are upset too. But let us tell you that’s not all. The censor board has also recommended cutting out 89 scenes from the movie which shows the substance abuse and involvement of political parties. Censor Board says the film should not make any specific political references.
Well, we believe what has been left in the movie after cutting of almost 89 scenes and so are the twitter users wondering. Have a look at what they have to say about the same:
Which means if I have to make a film on my genocide & ethnic cleansing, I can’t use the word #Kashmir? A dangerous trend. #UdtaPunjab #CBFC
