Suniel Shetty not in favour of censorship of OTT platforms: One has to be morally responsible

For the previous few months, there have been calls to usher in a censorship system into the OTT area to crack down abusive language and obscenities in exhibits and films. But actor Suniel Shetty isn’t in favour of the concept, saying as we speak, it’s a contact to establish what to censor, and what to depart.

The actor, who’s actively exploring the net area in his second inning with exhibits equivalent to Dharavi Bank and Hunter – Tootega Nahi, Todega, feels everybody must be morally accountable whereas placing out content material.

“In today’s world, there is a very thin line in everything. For instance, if you are taking advantage of no censorship in the space to sell junk, then it’s not fair. Restrictions when it comes to age and content should very much be there,” Shetty tells us.

Explaining his ideas, the actor provides, “If it is extreme, and if it is harming someone, an individual, a religion or anything or causing an overall disturbance in the ecosystem, then it’s not fair. You have to be morally responsible. I would not show or be part of such content because I feel there’s an audience for it”.

“I don’t believe that good doesn’t sell and only evil sells, so let’s get onto that bandwagon. That is where we are going wrong, and it is because of social media. Like, who are these people who are abusing me for no rhyme or reason? They have five followers and no identity. We have to accept it. Every decade has its own set of problems. That being said, censorship is a very difficult process today. What do you censor? What don’t? So, you have to be morally responsible”.

Opening up about being morally accountable, the 61-year-old says, “We come from a background where family matters a lot, and so does society, from a perspective of not wanting to harm anybody. It matters a lot. We have to be conscious about this as producers and as actors and creators”.

When it involves his work slate, the actor will probably be seen in a number of tasks which incorporates one thing on sports activities and well being as properly.

“I’m doing a few very interesting things. There’s another film that I have completed for web space. I am excited about the projects, but not overdoing anything.I am looking at everything from my perspective, and from the age perspective, and picking the projects,” he ends.
