The Shahid Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor, Alia Bhatt and Diljit Dosanjh starrer Udta Punjab is in trouble due to censorship issues. While The CBFC  has asked for an alteration in the narrative with as many as 89 cuts, Udta Punjab is garnering a lot of support from industry well wishers and friends. Comedian Kapil Sharma has also spoken at length about the issue.




The CBFC which is chaired by Pahlaj Nihalani is said to have reportedly demanded to remove Punjab from the movie's title as it is putting the state in the bad light but Kapil Sharma has a difference of opinion with Pahlaj.

Kapil tweeted, "Families have lost their youth to easy drugs and lack of rehabs in the state.. so can't shut our eyes to this. Those who say that there are no drugs or illegal medicines easily available in Punjab..dont know the real pain of Punjab."

While the controversy still is lingering on the movie, its only a matter of time that things will come out in the open regarding the fate of Udta Punjab. Meanwhile, the entire star cast of the movie are set to promote their films on 'The Kapil Sharma Show'.
