Films loaded with social message may be the trend in the industry but Anurag Kashyap believes filmmakers should not be expected to deliver a message through their movies.<\/p>\n
The director, whose upcoming film “Mukkabaaz” promotes sports in its own way, said as a filmmaker his aim is never to address a social issue.<\/p>\n
“Films are not supposed to give a message. A film is not a charity or an NGO. We have been making love stories since forever but people still don’t know how to love.<\/p>\n
“Even if a film gives a message, people clap for a moment and then forget. As a filmmaker, I don’t believe in giving a message. The only time I gave a message in my film was in ‘Black Friday’,” Kashyap said in a group interview here.<\/p>\n
The director said “Mukkabaaz” may be a pro-sports films, but it is not an “advertisement” for boxing.<\/p>\n
“It is a film which shows us a mirror. What people take from it depends on them.”<\/p>\n
The film has been given a U\/A certificate by the CBFC and Kashyap yesterday praised censor board chief Prasoon Joshi for a “reasonable, rational and empowering experience”.<\/p>\n
While the CBFC was criticised for suggesting modifications in Bhansali’s “Padmavat”, including a title change, Kashyap said he believes in speaking against or for any authority, based on his “personal experiences”.<\/p>\n
“‘Padmavat’ getting modifications is not my personal experience with CBFC. I have had my own experiences with the censor board. It was my first experience with Prasoon and I was literally given the space and respect a filmmaker should get. I was given the space to explain the context of the things in my film and it has never happened before.<\/p>\n
“What ‘Padmavati’ went through only Bhansali knows. My personal experience has been great (this time). I have always said the CBFC is not supposed to cut the film. I still believe in that and we are heading towards it. It is going to be a long process.”<\/p>\n
Kashyap said being the head of CBFC is not an easy job and he would never want to be in that situation.<\/p>\n
“Prasoon’s position is not an easy place to be in. He will be accused of a lot of things and by the end of it, will lose a lot of friends. I would never want to be in such a position.<\/p>\n
“If something wrong happens I criticise it, but when something good has happened, I am suppose to praise it as well,” he said.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
