Everyone is waiting for Shahid Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Dilijit Dosanjh and Kareena Kapoor Khan’s Udta Punjab to release on June 17, but the film has hit a roadblock. The Central Board of Film Certification has suggested the makers to drop Punjab from the title and make 89 additional cuts in the film. Producer Anurag Kashyap also ranted on Twitter, but most surprisingly, Shahid’s brother came in support of the movie and he also shared the post on his Facebook which read,” There are many things I’d like to say about how massively disappointing the authorities have been but for now I’d prefer to focus on how very important it is for our nation’s people to watch this film and learn what it has to offer. I’m not only speaking from a personal front, being that I’m one of the many who’ve put their blood and sweat into making a picture about the drug epidemic that’s plaguing Punjab (a reality I have seen first hand), but also as an audience. I hope we can watch #udtapunjab the way it is meant to be watched.”
