Don’t want to make unnecessary comments: Ekta Kapoor on ‘Udta Punjab’ row

Amid speculations that Ekta Kapoor and Anurag Kashyap have had a fallout over her decision to distance from their collaboration ‘Udta Punjab‘, the TV czarina today said the duo have decided she will not make any comment on the movie to avoid controversy.

While Anurag has openly slammed the censor board and its chief Pahlaj Nihalani for allegedly demanding 89 cuts in ‘Udta Punjab’, Ekta has maintained silence over the issue.

There were reports that Ekta was trying to back out from the project, which she has co-produced with Kashyap.

When asked about her reported rift with Kashyap, she said, “I and Anurag have discussed that we should have only one spokesperson instead of having various people talk. That’s why I have decided to have a no comments stand to everything.”

“There’s a smart, carefully decided, soft subtle approach to everything. I don’t want to make comments and say something unnecessary.”

Ekta was speaking at the trailer launch of an upcoming murder mystery ‘A Scandall’.
