Filmmaker and actor Anurag Kashyap has expressed concern over the criticism of Anant Mahadevan’s biography ‘Phule’. Starring Prateek Gandhi and Patralekha, the film is facing strong criticism to promote casteism. The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has asked the producers to remove the caste contexts from the film, forcing the film to change before it was released on 25 April.
According to the instructions of CBFC, the manufacturers removed several caste contexts from the film, including words such as ‘Mahar’, ‘Mang’, ‘Peshwai’ and ‘Manu’s Caste System’. Expressing his displeasure over the CBFC’s decision, Kashyap wrote on his Insta Story, “Punjab 95, Tis, Dhadak 2, Phule – I do not know how many other films that have been blocked to highlight this communal, regional, tribal agenda. Our leaders have destroyed the caste system.” Filmmaker and actor Anurag Kashyap shared this post and wrote:
He also raised questions.
The film has been engulfed in controversies since the trailer was released. Earlier, filmmaker Anubhav Sinha also raised questions about film censorship on social media. And now filmmaker Anurag Kashyap has also questioned. In addition, Anurag Kashyap is a very hardworking and energetic actor. All his films are superhit.
What did the director say?
The director of the film ‘Tapad’ wrote on his Instagram, “Is there no caste system in society? Did it never exist? Why should we lie to ourselves? After all, the kind of content that the Election Commission allows in speeches and the kind of content allows in CBFC films-these can not be two different standards. Both are a medium to communicate with society.” Director Anant Mahadevan has said this.
People are giving their feedback on social media.
After Anurag Kashyap’s statement, controversy has started on social media. Some people consider CBFC’s stance to avoid sensitive subjects, while others say it is a censorship on freedom of expression. At the same time, some people are seen saluting Anurag to support the truth.
