Watch 'Udta Punjab' only in theatres, urge Bollywood celebs

Shahid Kapoor and Alia Bhatt, lead actors of "Udta Punjab", among other celebrities from Bollywood have urged their fans not to waste two years of their hard work by watching the pirated version of the film and instead watch it only in the theatres.

Guys please please do not waste two years of hard work, blood, sweat and tears... Please watch 'Udta Punjab' only in theatres," Alia tweeted.

Shahid, who will be seen playing a rockstar named Tommy Singh in the film, shared: "Blood and sweat of many in this film. It's been your battle as much as ours. Now is the time you can show it. Watch 'Udta Punjab' in theatres."

The controversial film "Udta Punjab" was leaked online on Wednesday, two days ahead of its scheduled release in theatres. The Abhishek Chaubey directorial -- which has been in news for the makers' run-in with the censor board -- was available on torrent websites for illegal download.

However, soon the download links were "removed due to a copyright complaint".

Visibly upset with the online leaks, Bollywood celebrities including Karan Johar, Shraddha Kapoor, Varun Dhawan and Sonakshi Sinha requested people to head to the theatres to watch "Udta Punjab", based on drug abuse in the Indian state of Punjab.

Here's what tinsel town celebrities had to say:

Karan Johar: Please watch 'Udta Punjab' in the cinema this weekend! Don't succumb to online leaks! An honest film needs an honest audience. Let it fly.

Varun Dhawan: A big 'Dishoom' to the pirates. Go watch 'Udta Punjab' only in the theatre.
