Kabir was speaking as part of the panel discussion on 'Soft Power, Hard Influence' along with Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Vikas Swarup and Saffronart CEO Hugo Weihe. Court on Monday ordered Censor Board that to pass Udta Punjab with one cut and give it certificate under 48 hours as they could release their film on 17th June. Kabir said, 'This is a big step. It is going to motivate filmmakers to make films on the subjects of knowledge and if censor board chief doesn't agree with you, you still have the course to go to the court and get the film out. We should just continue making films which are important and relevant," he said that Kabir said that film industry often feels that the government takes them very lightly, it is a strong influential source across the world. Kabir said, 'In industry, sometime we feel like that Government takes us lightly. That this is all about song and dance and 'tamasha'.
