Prakash Raj says that Abir Gulaal from Fawad Khan should free up: “Let people decide … Govt allowing prohibitions to create fear in society” | Bollywood News
Prakash Raj is firmly against the ban on any film, whatever his ideology. He said that public feelings are injured down a hat these days. The actor cited the examples of Deepika Padukone-Starrer Padmaavat (2018), Shah Rukh Khan-Starrer Pathaan (2023), and more recently, Prithviraj Sukumaran's L2: Empuraan and Fawad Khan-Starrer Abir Gulaal.
“I am not prohibited for films, whether on the right or a propaganda film. Let people decide. People have the right. You cannot ban films, unless it is pornography or child abuse. But the process of reflection?
He added in the interview to the Lallantop: “Today, everyone can injure himself.” I'm going to cut the nose of Deepika Padukone! ” I'm going to decapitate it! Usey kya hoga (What effect would it have?). Shah Rukh Khan… just because of a color? Besharam sounded … They can do a shade and cry on everything they don't like. Prakash Raj referred to the Shri Rajput Karni Sena threatening to cut Deepika's nose if his film Padmaavat was released, which would have distorted the story of Rajput.
“The current power is to let it happen. They give them enough support to let this happen, to create fear in society,” said Prakash. “Some films are not made in this country. They will not leave it because there is censorship. There was state censorship. Now they have clearly brought it to central censorship. They decide what is done. The film industry is a very vulnerable industry. There is money. So, their idea is to ensure that it is fear, so the next generation decides not to write what they are otherwise.

Prakash Raj cited the example of L2: Empuraan, which was erased by the Central Council of Cinematographic Certification. But after objections were raised to the alleged representation of 2002 violence in Godhra, Gujarat, the main actor Mohanlal presented excuses. Some cuts were subsequently made to the film. “The cashmere files will be published. But some other films will not do it. There is a conscious attempt that each party will do the trick. Today, it is the BJP, but it happened before. Each powerful central government is always intolerant to question. This is why someone you give too much to be able to become intolerable,” added Prakash.
