Actress Kangana Ranaut has backed the makers of Udta Punjab, which is embroiled in a censorship battle, saying the censor board is bullying filmmakers and called for an end to a “parental attitude towards the audience”.
“We have been very concerned with the way things are going in general. I am not a director, I have never been through the process. But my very close friends and people I closely work with seem extremely disturbed with the way things are; to an extent they feel bullied,” Kangana said.
The actress said that it is high time that people stopped having this parental attitude towards the audience.
“I would support them. They are legitimate artistes. They know the process of certification. It’s not censorship. We don’t have to have that parental attitude towards the audience.”
The three-time National Award-winning actress said her 2014 film Queen had also run into trouble with the CBFC after it objected to a scene involving women’s undergarments.
“In my film Queen, there was a funny moment with a bra. My director called and said that they are blurring the bra. They said it is vulgar. Our director was furious about it. We are artistes... We see props as they are. A woman’s bra is not a danger to society,” she added.
