As the Udta Punjab censorship row intensifies, Bollywood actor Amitabh Bachchan on Wednesday said he is not aware of the issue but feels creativity should not be killed.

He is the latest celebrity to make a comment on the ongoing tussle between the makers of Udta Punjab and the censor board.

He was speaking at a promotional event of his upcoming film 'Te3n' in Kolkata.

"Filmmakers can approach tribunal and courts, only problem is censoring comes near the release of a film," Bachchan added.

Karan Johar, Aanand L Rai, Kabir Khan and Mahesh Bhatt also have slammed the censor board for raising objections on the Shahid Kapoor-Kareena Kapoor starrer, which deals with the problem of substance abuse in Punjab.

Many leading filmmakers and producers on Wednesday lent support to the Udta Punjab team at a press meet, criticising the board's actions and sharing their opinion on freedom of expression.
