The diva also spoke about the ongoing controversy between the censor board and ‘Udta Punjab’ makers and stated,
“I have full faith in the film, full faith in Abhishek Chaubey (director) and full faith in our fans. There are big stars in the film and all of them have a huge fan base. And the reason I did Udta Punjab is because there is no small or big role. And even if my role is a special one in the film if we actors don’t do these kinds of films, the message (about drug menace) will never be out.”
‘Udta Punjab’ is expected to release on June 17.
