Karan Johar defends censor board amid backlash
Karan Johar shared that filmmakers submit their movies last minute and then when the changes are demanded by CBFC, they complain ‘compromises hui hai’.
Unintermittedly when the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) is beleaguered for its stringent demands on films like Punjab 95, Santosh, and Janaki vs State of Kerala, filmmaker Karan Johar has taken a contrasting stance.
Amidst9 trailer launch of his upcoming film Dhadak 2, which reportedly underwent 16 cuts before receiving certification, Karan commended the censor board, stating that it is “trying to protect sensitivity.”
At the event, the filmmaker said, “Dharma Productions has always been associated with a certain kind of cinema.
Time and again, they have tried to shapen narratives responsibly. Filmmakers have consistently chosen themes that matter, and presented them with utmost sensitivity because that’s what the moment demands. Art has the power to influence, and cinema is one of the most impressionable mediums we have. Dhadak 2 is mainstream, yet it dares to ask difficult questions. Karan has never feared the repercussions of telling the truth. As their trailer says: ‘If you have a choice, then fight.’ And for him, the best way to fight is through cinema.”
