As per multiple online platforms which had snapshots from the leaked copy, one could say it was a copy of the film submitted to the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) as it also featured some scenes which the censor board had objected to.

There were also reports that the leaked copy had a run-time of two hours 20 minutes.

Scheduled to hit the screens on June 17, Udta Punjab has been allowed to release with one cut and A certificate. (With inputs from IANS)
