'Udta Punjab' controversy: Anurag Kashyap takes on Censor Board
Thursday, June 09, 2016 12:08 IST
Anurag Kashyap unleashed a barrage of tweets yesterday over the Censor Board's issues with his upcoming production, Udta Punjab. Just a few days ago, he had blamed the media for blowing things out of proportion. But the back-to-back tweets of the filmmaker tell another story. Check out his tweets...

`I always wondered what it felt like to live in North Korea ... Ab to plane pakadney ki bhi zaroorat nahin.`

`There is no film more honest than Udta Punjab ... And any person or party opposing it is actually guilty of promoting drugs. And the trolls are out to create a diversion.`

`I request Congress, AAP and other political parties to stay out of my battle. It's my Rights vs the Censorship. I speak only on my behalf.`

`It's my fight Vs a dictatorial man sitting there operating like an oligarch in his constituency of censor board, that's my North Korea.

`Rest of you go pick your own fights. I will fight mine.`

`So please don't colour my fight with any political affiliation because there is none.`

Err... why does everything end up becoming HIS fight?
