Udta Punjab censor row: Balaji Telefilms may back out of the project

There is a difference of opinion between the co-producers of Abhishek Chaubey’s Udta Punjab, Balaji Telefilms and Phantom, regarding the Censor Board’s decision about revision in the film.

The aftermath of the ongoing tussle between the makers of Udta Punjab and the Censor Board is an apparent fall out between the film’s co-producers Phantom and Balaji Telefilms.

While Balaji Telefilms is willing to go ahead with the Censor Board’s decision about the cuts in Udta Punjab, Anurag Kashyap, who helms Phantom, disagrees.

It seems Balaji wants to take the cuts advised by the board while Phantom,helmed by Anurag Kashyap , wants to put up a long battle.

Says a source close to the development, “Jeetendra and Balaji Telefilms are ready to go by the Censor Board’s cuts as long as the film gets to be released on time on June 17. On the other hand Anurag Kashyap on behalf of Phantom won’t accept a single cut and is ready to fight it out with the board for as long as it takes.”
