Latest bollywood flick ‘Udta Punjab’ has been in the headlines for the past few days after censor board objecting its content.
The censor board has suggested the filmmakers to cut down some scenes from the movie as the movie is based on sensitive topics like drugs.
However, Harbhajan Singh has shared his view on the movie using his twitter handle. “Nt a movie buff bt if #UdtaPunjab showing rightly whats happening in punjab what’s wrong with it then? We want our punjab drug free state,” Bhajji tweeted.

One of the main reasons the movie failed to get censor board clearance was due to the excessive usage of cuss words and representation of drug consumption as the board suggested as many as 89 cuts to the movie.
The censor board also suggested to drop the references of Punjab state in the movie to give the clearance for its release.
The off-spinner has given a clear view of his thought process by tweeting, “#Udtapunjab known for better things like love,peace,bhaichara,culture,respect,freedom fighters,spotsmans,music,I m a proud PUNJABI nd INDIAN”
