Here’s how Shahid Kapoor becomes Tommy Singh for ‘Udta Punjab’

Though Kareena Kapoor plays an essential character in the upcoming release UDTA PUNJAB, it seems the actress has deliberately chosen to stay away from the promotions and press conferences of the film. The film is keenly anticipated by the audiences post the controversy which has given the producers the confidence that it will see a good release across the country. The film was recently cleared by the Censor Board with an “A – Adult Only” certificate with merely one cut.

‘Udta Punjab’ is not only one of the most hyped films of this year, it is also one of the most crucial films of Shahid Kapoor’s filmy career as Filmy Pundits think this film will be a decider for Kapoor’s future in Bollywood.

“I felt anxious for my brother and family when I read the script”. I went into an introspect that did I do anything wrong?

Even while the UDTA PUNJAB censorship row was on, nearly entire team of the film fought for it. The movie focuses on the drug abuse problem in the youth of Punjab. We always show handsome things but if we keep doing that then who will talk about this issue? “Very few films will give me an opportunity to spread social awareness”. “I guess every artiste somewhere feels that; that’s where it all starts”.
