Diljit Dosanjh has been looking forward to the release of his movie Punjab’95 – spelt Panjab’95 – but is now awaiting the approval of the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). For the unversed, the movie has been with CBFC for over a year now after they suggested 120 cuts to the film.
Now, during Instagram Live, the Punjabi singer shared an update on the release of the movie and stated that he won’t support the film if released with cuts.
In his live session, Diljit Dosanjh said, “I hope the film gets released in India soon. I will support only that film that will be released fully without any cuts. If you release the film without cuts I will come, otherwise with cuts it doesn’t matter. I hope some solution will come out and it will release in Punjab.” He further explained that if the movie is released with cuts, then it will defeat the purpose of the film’s message.
Punjab’95 director Honey Trehan supported the singer by sharing the clip on his Instagram Stories and saying that he would pull off his name if there were any cuts to the movie.
“Chaddiyaan kallan. Panjab’95 will not have my name as a director too if there will be any cut. I don’t support the unreasonable and politically coloured demands of cbfc. I stand by my film and by my team. I will never let down their faith in me. Justice will prevail soon and I hope the world sees the uncut film soon. Immense respect for Jaswant Singh Khalra ji’s martyrdom,” he wrote.
