Bollywood
filmmaker
Kabir
Khan,
who
interacted
with
the
media
during
the
21st
MAMI
Mumbai
Film
Festival,
said
that
there
should
be
no
such
thing
called
censorship
or
film
certification.
He
was
asked
about
his
opinion
on
censorship
at
an
interactive
session
on
the
topic
'Cinema
as
Agent
of
Change',
at
the
21st
Jio
MAMI
Mumbai
Film
Festival
with
Star,
in
which
Tahira
Kashyap
Khurrrana
also
took
part.
He
said,
"There
should
not
be
any
censorship
and
the
film
certification
board,
if
they
feel
that
a
certain
kind
of
content
is
not
suitable
for
a
certain
age
group,
they
can
bring
more
ratings
instead
of
just
'U',
'A',
'U/A'.
But
they
should
not
be
censoring
films.
Censorship
sometimes
creates
the
most
idiotic
situations."
When
he
was
asked
about
his
take
on
the
subject
of
toxic
masculinity
in
films
such
as
'Kabir
Singh',
he
said,
"If
a
character
has
toxic
masculinity,
that
is
not
the
problem.
It
is
ultimately
about
I
(the
filmmaker)
show
him
in
the
film.
That
matters.
Am
I
glorifying
him
or
showing
him
as
a
broken
piece?
It
also
depends
on
how
the
audience
perceives
it."
He
also
stated
that
it
depends
on
what
the
filmmaker
says
at
the
end.
"I
feel
politically
incorrect
people
are
damn
exciting,
so
creating
such
a
character
is
interesting.
But
it
all
depends
on
what
comment
a
filmmaker
is
making
using
such
a
character
at
the
end
of
the
film," he
said.
'Kabir
Singh' which
was
a
blockbuster
at
the
box
office,
received
backlash
from
a
section
of
the
audience
who
alleged
that
the
film
glorified
toxic
masculinity.
Kabir
Khan's
films
such
as
'Kabul
Express',
'New
York',
'Tiger
Zinda
Hai',
and
'Bajrangi
Bhaijaan',
were
known
for
socio-political
comments.
