Mumbai, June 7 (IBNS): Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap, who is one of the producers of the Bollywood movie 'Udta Punjab', criticised the ongoing censorship regarding his upcoming film and compared the move to the dictatorial regime of North Korea.

"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 tweeted.

He urged opposition parties from keeping themselves out of the battle he is currently fighting against the Censonr board.

"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," he said.

He said: "So please don't colour my fight with any political affiliation because there is none."

Udta Punjab is an upcoming Indian drama film written and directed by Abhishek Chaubey.

Produced byShobha Kapoor and Ekta Kapoor under their banner Balaji Motion Pictures in association with Phantom Films, it features Shahid Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor, Diljit Dosanjh and Alia Bhatt in the lead roles.

The film is based on the drug abuse problem faced by Punjab.
