Over the years, there haven’t been many movies that tackled the issue of drug abuse in our country. Shaitaan starring Kalki Koechlin, which came out in 2011, was one of the only film that portrayed substance-abusing characters.

Recent news was that Punjabi actor Diljit Dosanj is casted opposite Kareena Kapoor. No wonder Bebo had to take tutoring lessons to brush up her Punjabi. Being a Punjabi actor himself, Diljit may be able to put in more life into the character.

So all in all, Udta Punjab will be based on the drug trafficking and the issue of substance abuse amongst youth happening in the state of Punjab. The film produced by Phantom Films has already begun shooting and is set to come out next year.
