Mumbai: It seems the row surrounding the release of 'Udta Punjab' is not going to end anytime soon. The Censor Board has asked the 'Udta Punjab' makers to put a disclaimer saying that they acknowledge the work done by government to eradicate drugs.
The board has also asked for the deletion of the signboard of Punjab at the beginning of the film. It has asked for the removal of all visuals and dialogue references to Punjab, Jalandhar, Chandigarh, Amritsar, Taran Taran, Jashanpur, Ambesar and Moga.
According to the Censor Board, the words 'election', 'MP' and 'MLA' should also be removed along with the close-up shots of drugs being injected. The board also want the dog in the film to be renamed.
