Abhishek Chaubey directed Hindi movie Udta Punjab is not going to release in Pakistan due to Censor issues.
The decision of the same is conveyed by the makers themselves. Shobha Kapoor, Ekta Kapoor, Anurag Kashyap, Vikramaditya Motwane, Aman Gill, Vikas Bahl, Sameer Nair are the producers of the Udta Punjab movie.
The decision not to release in Pakistan comes in the wake of a controversy over the film cuts. Pakistan’s censor board has suggested at least 100 cuts for the film which is not acceptable for the movie makers.
The makers has said that there is no question of accepting the number of cuts. Atleast 100 cuts has been suggested which makes no sense of releasing the movie by doing so.
already In India the censor board has asked for the 87 cuts in the movie. but the producers and the director went to the court and won the case with the minimum cuts.
The collections in India were not upto the expectations. The movie was already leaked in the online. But, still the movie has done a good job at the box office. Hence, the movie can be termed as hit.
The movie is based on the Mafia and drugs in the state of Punjab. The youth and the sufferings are shown in the movie.
