Films, web series should be made responsibly; people know what to watch: Prakash Jha

Guwahati, Stating that the society is “far stronger” than a few individuals who certify movies, filmmaker Prakash Jha on Wednesday denounced censorship of movies or web shows but said these should be made “responsibly”. In an interview with PTI here, the acclaimed director stressed that the freedom to tell a story is available in both mainstream theatres and OTT (over-the-top), but it has to be made in an “engaging manner” for people to watch.

“I have never ever supported censorship. Because societies are far stronger than a bunch of individuals who decide as to what the society has to watch,” he added.
