More than 40 cuts for Abhishek Choubey’s Udta Punjab were ordered by the Central Board Of Film Certification (CBFC). These, according to a source, include any number of expletives, plus a song. Visuals of substance abuse were also asked to be removed. The film’s leading man Shahid Kapoor is a drug addict and is shown to be a serial abuser.
Rather than go to the Revising Committee of the CBFC, producer Anurag Kashyap went straight to the Tribunal in the hope of a hasty clearance with nominal cuts. Alternatively, the Minister of Information & Broadcasting Rajyvardhan Rathore has also been approached to clear the film with an ‘A’ certificate, sans cuts.
