Udta Punjab is scheduled to release on June 17.
\"We always make assumptions before we really see the final project. The trailer is just a hint, film has the real content. So if people have a problem after seeing the film, then it is correct to justify. Before that, we have to just wait,\" Alia said.

Alia also stood up to support her film saying, people always make assumptions merely on the basis of a trailer, which is nothing but a glimpse of what the film is going to be.
\"It does happen at times that there is something you've conceived and in case there is a cut it doesn't convey the right message. But I think most of the times when you see it in the overall context, and the CBFC does that, they try to ensure that the message is not diluted.\"
'Queen' director Vikas, said cuts in a film do hamper the creative process but feels the Board makes sure that the message does not get diluted.
The film stars Shahid Kapoor as a high-on-drugs rockstar Tommy Singh, Alia Bhatt as a Bihari migrant, Kareena Kapoor Khan plays a doctor determined to fight the illegal transportation of drugs, while Diljit Dosanjh will be seen playing a police officer.
\"I personally think, they are coming to a point where people after some time will feel that some decisions are justified and they're having good results with the audience,\" he said. \"This film is adult. We should get an adult certificate. I think everything, if seen in the right context, will get the right judgement,\" Bahl said at the song launch event on Wednesday evening.
Bahl said people will eventually come to realise that some of the decisions of the board are justified and feels 'Udta Punjab' will be viewed in the right context.
\"However, I think CBFC is going through a process to come to a point where people understand what they're trying to do. There seem to be fluctuations in some of the decisions but I think that's a process,\" Vikas added.
\"I would insist the board to give us an adult certificate. This film has been made for an age group of a certain number and above that,\" Bahl told reporters.
'Udta Punjab', directed by Abhishek Chaubey, is being made after four years of research and is based on the drug-related problems prevalent in Punjab.
Filmmaker Vikas Bahl, who has co-produced 'Udta Punjab', says the team will insist the Censor Board to give the movie an 'A' certificate.
