Ludhiana:
Superstar Aamir Khan said that if Udta Punjab was leaked online before its release by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) then it reflects badly on them.
The 51-year-old actor, who had earlier tweeted to request fans to watch the movie in theatres, said piracy is an issue that the film industry has been fighting for a long time.
"I am not sure whether it was a CBFC copy. But if it's a censor copy then it's a shame on CBFC, it reflects very badly on them. Piracy is an issue, which we all have been fighting for a very long time," he told reporters.
Udta Punjab leaked on torrent with 'For Censor' written on the top left corner of the copy, sparking speculation about CBFC's alleged involvement.
Mr Khan had also supported the Udta Punjab team in their fight with CBFC over censorship.
The PK actor returned to Ludhiana, after a gap of five months to shoot as young Mahavir Phogat in the upcoming sports biopic.
Mr Khan also said that he'll watch Udta Punjab in Ludhiana as he will be busy shooting for his own film here. "I am quite excited about the film and eagerly waiting for it. It's a good decision by the Bombay High Court. I will be watching it here because I am shooting now."
Aamir's Dangal will release in December, this year.
