Not too long ago, Aamir had joined the host of Bollywood celebrities to support Anurag Kashyap and others behind Udta Punjab.
He had said, ““It’s very unfortunate. I’m pained that the film is going through this. As per my knowledge, it is based on drug addiction and delivers a social message. I don’t think there is anything that should be cut or audience should be kept away…
“It reflects badly on CBFC. I hope the film gets justice at the Tribunal. The voice of the filmmaker shouldn’t be throttled… There should be freedom of speech. Every Indian should have this right.”
