Censor Board demands 89 cuts for Udta Punjab

Udta Punjab, starring Shahid Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Kareena Kapoor Khan and Punjabi singer-actor Diljit Dosanjh is slated to release on June 17. The movie was earlier censored with an A certificate after 40 cuts. As the team felt cutting too many scenes would reduce the impact in story, the makers appealed to revising committee, where it is said that they have demanded 89 cuts.

It is reported that revising committee wants to remove the reference to Punjab and demands the makers to use some fictional land instead of Punjab. The movie is co-produced by Phantom Films and Balaji Motion Pictures.

Meanwhile, Anurag Kashyap vented out his disappointment on his Twitter account!

There is no film more honest than UDTA PUNJAB .. And any person or party opposing it is actually GUILTY of promoting drugs
