Anurag Kashyap Lauds Pahlaj Nihalani For Passing 'Udta Punjab' Trailer Without Any Cuts!
Film censorship has always been one of the most debatable topics in India. The fight between film-makers and CBFC has been a prolonged one and there has never been a unanimous decision regarding film censorship.
After the trailer of Abhishek Chaubey’s Udta Punjab was launched yesterday, it came as a pleasant surprise for a lot of people since CBFC passed the trailer without a single ‘cut’ or ‘beep’!
Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap who has co-produced the film chose Twitter to laud CBFC chief Pahlaj Nihalani. Kashyap took to Twitter to thank and appreciate Censor board’s efforts.
He wrote:
