It is quite shocking that Mr. Anurag Kashyap is not willing to understand the sentiments of the Sikh community.
On the one hand, he says, "It was never the intention to hurt the community and why would we do that when we got so much love from them".
On the other hand, he says,"Technology does not allow us to cut a scene and it affects the story telling. So I definitely can not do that now.
To those whose hurt is genuine, I offer a genuine apology, that wasn’t my intention. And for those who are doing it for attention, I am glad you have got the attention".
And after viewing the Letter of the Censor Board, his outburst was," Congratulations. Here by all problems of Punjab are solved and Sikh youth have been saved. Happy to be back in LaLa land again. Next time you are threatened by a film please call Kishore Lulla directly on +91 98679 66661. Eros knows how to solve matters in minutes".

Thanks to @anuragkashyap72 & Censor Board to accept the responsibility & delete the scenes. It's an irony that when Anurag Kashyap wanted to solve the drug problem with @UdtaPunjabFilm_, it had so many cuts by CBFC but in @manmarziyanfilm when it was unnecessary, CBFC let it go. pic.twitter.com/g8RvLb4h7n— Jasveer Singh (@jasveer2589) September 20, 2018
