Punjab to be removed from the title ‘Udta Punjab’?

There were reports that CBFC has asked for 40 cuts in Shahid Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor, Alia Bhatt and Diljit Dosanjh starrer ‘Udta Punjab’. It was also heard that the film has been banned. However, the makers had cleared that the film has not been banned and they will be taking it to tribunal for the certification.

And now, according to a report in Bollywood Life, Film Certification Appellate Tribunal (FCAT) has asked to makers to drop the word ‘Punjab’ from the title.

A source close to the production house stated, “A screening for the tribunal was held last Friday. They watched the film and once done, told everyone that they will send their recommendations through a letter on Monday. But they verbally informed the director that they want the word Punjab dropped from the title. Not only that they also want the makers to remove any reference of the state in the film or cities thereof.”

The source further added that they clearly want to postpone the release to avoid any political reaction. The source said, “It is obviously politically motivated.”

The movie is slated to release on 17^th June. Let’s wait and watch if the makers will agree to drop the word Punjab from the title.
