One of the several cuts the Censor Board has ordered in Abhishek Choubey’s Udta Punjab is the name of Shahid Kapoor’s character Tommy Singh’s pet dog, Jackie Chan!
Says a source from the film’s core team, “We thought it was a cute homage to Asia’s most popular entertainer. The Board feels otherwise. They’ve asked us to change the dog’s name as they feel it will harm India’s relations with China.”
Shak’s character, the drugged-out rock star Tommy ‘Gabru’ Singh abuses and swears his way through the film. “He hurls ma-bahen gaalis when drugged and when sober. The Board has advised that his character refrains from abusing when sober,” says a source.
