Renowned filmmaker Anurag Kashyap has spoken out about his shifting stance on censorship in India. In a recent conversation with Komal Nahta on his podcast, Kashyap shared his new perspective on the issue. During the chat, Kashyap revealed that his experience with the censor board was a turning point for him. Before submitting his own film for review, he had expressed concerns about censorship on social media. However, upon meeting the censor board members, Kashyap was met with surprise and laughter. They found his film to be surprisingly free of violent or abusive content. Kashyap was struck by the board's willingness to follow the rules, but also by their suggestion that he should work towards changing the regulations if he disagreed with them. He noted that the board's approach was 'loving' and emphasized the importance of unity among filmmakers in pushing for change. Kashyap's comments come after his recent directorial release, Nishaanchi, which was released on September 19. The crime drama starred Aaishvary Thackeray, Vedika Pinto, and Monika Panwar. Kashyap's newfound understanding of the censor board's approach has led him to reassess his stance on censorship. His comments offer a unique insight into the workings of the censor board and the importance of collaboration among filmmakers in shaping the industry's future.
