"We have today cleared Udta Punjab under A (restricted for adult audience) category after 13 cuts," Nihalani told reporters on the sidelines of a function here. The censor board has cleared the controversial drug-themed Bollywood film 'Udta Punjab' with 13 cuts under the 'A' category, its chairman Pahlaj Nihalani said today. In Punjab which is set for assembly polls next year, the opposition parties had accused the ruling SAD-BJP of using influence to "censor" 'Udta Punjab'. Film's co-producer Anurag Kashyap got support of BSP supremo Mayawati who said there was "nothing wrong" with 'Udta Punjab' and that the party supported it. We will implement the order," Nihalani said.
