Looks like all decks have been cleared for the release of ‘Udta Punjab’. First the Mumbai High Court gave the movie a go ahead, asking for only a single cut, instead of 89 cuts asked by the censor board. Now even the Supremem Court has also refused to entertain an NGO plea to halt the screening of the film.

The entire cast and crew of the film, including Shahid Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, co-producer Anurag Kashyap, co-producer Ekta Kapoor, director Abhishek Choubey were present at a press conference to rejoice the huge victory.

But in another setback, a day before the release the film has been leak online. The producers have now filed a complaint to the cops.

As fans are eagerly waiting for the third instalment of Gangs of Wasseypur, the threequel of the movie has landed in a controversy even before it has floor to the floor. Gangs of Wasseypur 1.5 is slated to be completed by October and the producers want it to hit the theaters by the end of the year.

The locals of Wasseypur, however are not happy with the franchise and are set to stage protests against the Anurag Kashyap movie. According to people, the franchise is depicting Wasseypur in poor light and creating wrong perceptions that the place is a breeding ground of criminals.

The protesters don’t want Kashyap to use their town’s name in the movie and are also not happy with Zeishan Quadri, the director and co-scriptwriter, who incidentally hails from Wasseypur. They even go on to say that since the release of the first movie, the crime rate has risen sharply.

Gangs of Wasseypur 1.5 well on schedule

Meanwhile, the franchise seems to be unaffected by the recent developments and is aiming to commence the project on time. Quadri, who was in Wasseypur recently for research work has insisted that the movie’s work is well on schedule. “The first two installment of the Gangs of Wasseypur portrayed the events that occurred till 2002.” Quadri informed. “The threequel will tell what happened between 2003 and 2015,” he said.

“The script has already been completed, and now we have started shooting for the movie. It is expected to be completed by October and the movie will hit theatres by the end of this year.”

Quantico star Priyanka Chopra has lent her support to Kashyap, saying that the censor board cannot dictate terms. She added that the board has no right of tempering with the creativity and title of the movie.

“Our forefathers achieved freedom of speech and expression for us after a long struggle… Creativity should not be stopped in democracy,” Priyanka Chopra said. “In democracy you cannot dictate what one should eat or watch a movie on a social issue.”

This is probably the first time the whole Bollywood family has come out openly, supporting each other. The controversy on Anurag Kashyap’s Udta Punjab has brought the industry together.

Akshay, who generally avoid giving his opinion, like it was seen in of the episodes of ‘Koffee with Karan’ said that even commercial films face the brunt of censor board’s dictating attitude.

“I made a film which was very entertaining, Desi Boyz, it got an adult certificate,” Akshay recalled. “Eros International (producer) knows about it. So there’s nothing like that. If it gets stuck, it gets stuck.”

Kangana Ranaut, a three-time National Awards winner, said that movies should be given creative freedom, and such incidents shouldn’t happen in future.

“Cinema is all about detailing,” Kangana said. “We need our own creative freedom and we are definitely sort of pressed against the wall and there is so much outrage. I hope it will be addressed and hope there won’t be such incidents in future.”
