A lot has been spoken and written about Shahid Kapoor's upcoming film 'Udta Punjab' that's based on substance abuse. After fighting a tough battle with the CBFC board over censor cuts, the movie has finally found its shore and is all set to hit the silver screens on the date it was scheduled to!

Yesterday, a special Press Conference was held by the team to clear all the speculations revolving around the film.

During the media interactions, when Shahid was asked to share his thoughts he said "Stop judging the films and characters after seeing one-minute promo. It's a two and half hour film. If you feel any credibility in people sitting out here, please wait till you view the film before passing judgement or creating a controversy."

"All the controversies were created without viewing it. Our names and images are at stake. Why would we do that to ourselves?," Shahid told reporters at the "Udta Punjab"

He also added that Alia Bhatt should be credited for taking up such a difficult role as she has always been "known to look desirable and lovely and who got the courage to go and play the role of a drug addict".

"Why is she doing that to her image because there is some substance within her which is making her feel responsible enough to pick a role that's not just about looking desirable but a role which is real."

On a concluding note he said that the purpose of the film is "humane".

"Udta Punjab", directed by Abhishek Chaubey, stars Shahid Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Kareena Kapoor Khan and Diljit Dosanjh in pivotal roles. The movie is all set to release this Friday i.e. on 17^th July, 2016.
