'Udta Punjab' has been embroiled in more than one controversy over the last few days. Rumours of all kinds made the rounds, which included the Censor Board not issuing the certificate to CBFC asking the makers to make 89 cuts. There was also a strong buzz about Punjab being asked to drop from the film's title by CBFC. On Wednesday afternoon, the makers of 'Udta Punjab' along with Indian Film and Television Directors' Association (IFTDA) held a press conference to clear the controversies and take the battle with the Censor Board head on. The entire controversy surrounding the film seems to have brought matters to a head and certain issues out in the open.
