The Censor Board refused to issue a certificate to `Udta Punjab`  without  Punjab. It means that the Censor row has  turned political.The  Censor Board has eventually succumbed to the political pressure as reports suggest that they do not want the Shahid Kapoor-starrer to be  set in the state. The ongoing Censor issue just got political as the Censor Board doesn`t want the movie to be set in Punjab. Not only that; they also want the word `Punjab` to be removed from the title of the the film. After Censor Board refused to issue a certificate to the Abhishek Chaubey-directed film, the Revising Committee of Censor Board has now given even harsher suggestions to the makers, in order to obtain the certificate. A committee has also asked that all references to Punjab, politics and elections be removed from the film. Seems that the recommendations/Objections of the Reviewing Committee have assumed political overtones. It is being reported that the committee wants the film to be set in a fictional land rather than in Punjab and is demanding a lot of cuts, which are against the "reality" of the movie.
