Co-produced by Anurag Kashyap, "Udta Punjab" stars Shahid Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Kareena Kapoor Khan and Diljit Dosanjh and is about the drug menace in Punjab. The row over 'Udta Punjab' took a new turn after Nihalani suggested that Kashyap may have taken money from the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) to produce the movie ahead of Punjab elections due next year. The CBFC must stick to certifying instead of censoring films, they said. After completing the second day's hearing on a plea filed by "Udta Punjab" co-producers challenging the cuts recommended by CBFC, the judges said they would pronounce their verdict on June 13. Kashyap accused CBFC chairman Pahlaj Nihalani of bullying and deliberately not certifying the film slated for release on June 17.
