Anurag Kashyap is on fire. His co-produced Udta Punjab is in trouble. His Twitter tirade against the Central Board of Film Certification won him many supporters, including AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal. But Kashyap, in a swift snub, told politicians to keep off his fight.

On Tuesday, when Anurag Kashyap tweeted, "There is no film more honest than UDTA PUNJAB .. And any person or party opposing it is actually GUILTY of promoting drugs (sic)," Arvind Kejriwal quoted the tweet and said, "I completely agree." That was unsolicited and quite unfounded as Kejriwal hasn't obviously seen the film.

Kashyap was quick to dismiss the Kejriwal support. "Please don't colour my fight with any political affiliation because there is none. 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," Kashyap wrote.

"Rest of you go pick your own fights. I will fight mine," added the maker of films like Black Friday and Gangs Of Wasseypur.

Udta Punjab, which is yet to receive a certificate from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), is reportedly in trouble for being an "honest" tale about the festering problem of drugs in Punjab.

Kashyap's Phantom Films has co-produced the film with Balaji Motion Pictures. Directed by Abhishek Chaubey and starring an ensemble cast with names like Shahid Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Kareena Kapoor Khan and Diljit Dosanjh, Udta Punjab is based on how the youth of Punjab have succumbed to drugs.

However, the subject has reportedly not gone down too well with the ruling dispensation in the state, especially with the state elections just round the corner. And what followed was what many are considering a politically motivated move by the Censor Board's Revising Committee to demand as many as 89 cuts and a complete removal of any reference to Punjab in the film.

Parkash Singh Badal, the chief minister of Punjab, however, cleared his stand on the entire Udta Punjab issue. Badal said, "This is a Censor Board problem. We have no role to play in this."

Udta Punjab is slated for a June 17, 2016 release. However, the film is still waiting for a clearance from the Censor Board.
