Udta Punjab makers offer three disclaimers

With the Bombay High Court set to pronounce its verdict on 'Udta Punjab' fiasco next week, filmmakers on Friday offered three disclaimers clarifying their stand.

"We have offered disclaimers in three parts; one is that we are not depicting any state in any manner, the use of words is also not in any bad manner and the message of the film is that it neither propagates the use of any kind of drugs nor does it put the state in bad light," Amit Nair, the advocate representing the film makers, told the media here.

"The arguments have been concluded and the matter has been kept for judgement on Monday," he added.

The Bombay High Court on Friday called the 'hue and cry' surrounding 13 cuts suggested by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) to the film and the production house's decision to challenge the suggested cuts as 'an unnecessary publicity to the film'.

The CBFC had asked for 13 cuts in the film which included references to Punjab, expletives and drug scenes among others.
