Actor Varun Badola recently reacted to his film Satluj's removal from OTT platform ZEE5. He also spoke about Diljit Dosanjh's pro-piracy remark.
Around this time last week, Honey Trehan’s Satluj was trending on Zee5 as the most-viewed film. Consigned to censorship purgatory since 2022, the political drama previously titled Punjab ’95 had quietly been released on the platform on the evening of Friday, July 3. For 48 hours, a movie that the censor board had repeatedly refused to clear was available (if only to Zee5 subscribers) without any of the 127-odd cuts the authorities had demanded.
After nearly four years of censorship-related delays, Diljit Dosanjh‘s Satluj was released on ZEE5 on July 3. However, it was taken down from the OTT platform within 48 hours. Following the takedown, Diljit appeared unfazed by the film being downloaded and circulated, remarking that “everyone has the film downloaded with them.” Now, actor Varun Badola, who plays advocate Ravinder Jais in the movie previously titled Punjab 95, has reacted to the row and Diljit’s pro-piracy remark.
