Phantom Films filed a copyright theft case with the cybercrime cell last night after what they believed was the copy submitted to the censor board found its way into several torrentz sites that offered the film's download illegally.
The download links were later "removed due to a copyright complaint", the websites read.Reports said that the leaked copy had a run-time of two hours 20 minutes.
'Udta Punjab', directed by Abhishek Chaubey, was cleared by a court earlier this week after the censor board - led by its controversial chief Pahlaj Nihalani - refused to allow its screening without 89 cuts.
The bone of contention for the CBFC was that “Udta Punjab” was showcasing Punjab in a poor light, with a highlight on its festering problem of drugs.
“Udta Punjab” stars Shahid Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Kareena Kapoor Khan and Diljit Dosanjh.
