There was a time when it seemed as through the controversies around ‘Udta Punjab‘ would smother the film even before its release.
A protracted and highly public battle with the Central Board of Film Certification that saw several political parties jump onto the bandwagon and an online leak of the complete film, the night before its release made ‘Udta Punjab’s trip to the theatres a beleaguered one. Ultimately, ‘Udta Punjab’ was deemed a triumph for all those involved in the making of it – its phenomenal cast of actors (Shahid Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Diljit Dosanjh and Kareena Kapoor), its director (Abhishek Chaubey) and its producers (Anurag Kashyap and Phantom Films).
But months after the film’s release, a fresh controversy has raised its head.
