Quantico star Priyanka Chopra has lent her support to Kashyap, saying that the censor board cannot dictate terms. She added that the board has no right of tempering with the creativity and title of the movie.
“Our forefathers achieved freedom of speech and expression for us after a long struggle… Creativity should not be stopped in democracy,” Priyanka Chopra said. “In democracy you cannot dictate what one should eat or watch a movie on a social issue.”
This is probably the first time the whole Bollywood family has come out openly, supporting each other. The controversy on Anurag Kashyap’s Udta Punjab has brought the industry together.
Akshay, who generally avoid giving his opinion, like it was seen in of the episodes of ‘Koffee with Karan’ said that even commercial films face the brunt of censor board’s dictating attitude.
“I made a film which was very entertaining, Desi Boyz, it got an adult certificate,” Akshay recalled. “Eros International (producer) knows about it. So there’s nothing like that. If it gets stuck, it gets stuck.”
Kangana Ranaut, a three-time National Awards winner, said that movies should be given creative freedom, and such incidents shouldn’t happen in future.
“Cinema is all about detailing,” Kangana said. “We need our own creative freedom and we are definitely sort of pressed against the wall and there is so much outrage. I hope it will be addressed and hope there won’t be such incidents in future.”
