Throwing his weight behind the producers of the film ‘Udta Punjab’ which has ran into trouble with Censor Board, Bollywood actor Amitabh Bachchan, here on Wednesday described the development as ‘unfortunate’ and added that creativity is soul of film-making and it should not be killed.‘Don’t try to kill creativity. I think we all must have freedom to create because we are in this creative field. All we have [is] our soul to be able create. When you kill creativity, you kill our soul and that will be detrimental to profession per say,’ he said addressing a press conference in Kolkata.Mr. Bachchan was in the city to promote his film TE3N starring Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Vidya Balan.The film ‘Udta Punjab’ starring Shahid Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Kareena Kapoor Khan and Diljit Dosanjh takes a peek into prevalence of drugs among youth of Punjab.The makers of the film have been asked to remove references to Punjab and make 89 cuts.Even as Mr. Bachchan added that he is not aware of the issues which ‘Udta Punjab’ is going through, the actor said that ‘if there is a delay it is unfortunate’ and producers will have to fight it through higher courts.Recounting his own experience, Mr. Bachachan said that similar things have happened to films he had been associated with as well.‘Eventually, yes, creativity won,’ he added. According to him in the past there have been occasions when filmmakers had to approach higher courts to get their films cleared.Mr. Bachchan also advised that it necessary to change from the censor process of film making to a ‘certificate-based filmmaking.’‘The only problem is that the censor caution of film making comes at a time of release, when everything is set up, distribution, theater, publicity marketing…At that point if there is an obstacle… it sets u back. I hope that we can devise a system where there is certification rather than censor,’ he added.
