After the CBFC (Central Board of Film Certification) asked for 89 cuts, Anurag Kashyap and Ekta Kapoor have been trying every trick in the book to ensure that their upcoming film Udta Punjab does not get scissored. They have even moved the High Court in this matter.

While the HC's decision is awaited on Monday, Anurag has found some solace in PM Narendra Modi, who had tweeted sometime ago:
The film stars Shahid Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Diljit Dosanjh and Alia Bhatt in the lead roles. It's been directed by Abhishek Chaubey, who had previously directed films like Ishqiya and Dedh Ishqiya. He had been an assistant to Vishal Bhardwaj for the longest time, and finally he has moved ahead and made a film with a different banner.
Let's see what happens tomorrow. Until then...
