So, I've been made the new head of CBFC — the Central Board of Film Certification. No, no I'm not taking Pahlaj Nihalani's place. Mine is a new division that addresses issues relating to titles of movies with the name of an Indian state or Union Territory in them.

The Akali Government is going ballistic because they feel that Udta Punjab gives the state a bad name. No one takes drugs in our state, they say, we have a 'kee pharak penda' attitude and dance the Bhangra like there is no tomorrow, so people think we are druggies. I asked an Akali spokeperson, "If you remove 'Punjab' from the film, what do you expect the title to be? Just 'Udta'?"
