Udta Punjab all set to release on June 17; gets only one cut

After facing huge trouble with the CBFC, finally the upcoming film Udta Punjab has got just one cut and is all set to hit the screens on its scheduled date June 17.

The elated director Abhishek Chaubey said "Massively relieved today, looking to release the film on the scheduled date,"
