Even as the controversies surrounding Padmavati continue to flare up instead of dying down, more and more people are coming out in support for either side. Among the celebrities that have come out in support of the film’s director Sanjay Leela Bhansali, and star Deepika Padukone, are veteran actors like Shabana Azmi and Kamal Hassan, but many prominent names haven’t made their views on the issue public. 

While Bollywood’s major stars, including the Khans may be wary of openly airing their opinion for fear of a backlash, that hasn’t stopped them from reaching out to support Deepika privately.

The makers and actors Shahid Kapoor and Alia Bhatt of Udta Punjab have come out aggressively defend their film. The Central Board for Film Certification (CBFC) has asked the producers to drop ‘Punjab’ from the title of the film ‘Udta Punjab’. Earlier the Censor Board had objected to the excessive use of profanities in the film and asked for sought 89 cuts to give it a ‘UA’ certificate.

The film’s producer Anurag Kashyap has told the media that “if any film is changed slightly, it is Qatl-e-Aam of it. No filmmaker wants to have cuts and leave it at that”.
