Ravi, who described himself as an \u201cencyclopedia on cinema\u201d, was also asked about the certification body and how he would feel if one of his projects were heavily censored by the CBFC.When asked about the recent censorship troubles encountered by Satluj, Ravi said that there must have been a \u201csensitivity\u201d issue. He distanced himself from the subject and said, \u201cI have zero knowledge about it. I just know that the film came and was removed. To be honest, I don\u2019t know the details.\u201dHe then added that artistes must be responsible while making films and said that in an attempt to make an entertaining film, they \u201cmust not hurt any community or misrepresent any historical event.\u201d Ravi then gave examples of Dhurandhar, Maa Behen and the Netflix show Maamla Legal Hai and said that these projects were released successfully. Ravi worked as an actor in Maa Behen and Maamla Legal Hai.He said in an interview with Screen, \u201cWe must be answerable to society because what we make affects the youth. We must be responsible while writing a script and making a movie.\u201d He added that in the past \u201cbooks were burnt, people were taught wrong history\u201d and he said that films must be very careful about representing historical events correctly.Ravi was then asked how we would feel if, as an artiste, his work were to be scrutinised by the CBFC, or if one of his films got a long list of cuts by the censor board. To this, Ravi said, \u201cI will ask, \u2018Why?\u2019 I will ask, \u2018What mistake did I make?\u2019\u201dHe then said that censorship troubles have existed in India for a long time and spoke about the Emergency era in the 1970s. \u201cIt happened during Sholay too. It has happened with thousands of films. It happened during the Congress regime too. Kishore Kumar<\/a> was banned on radio. Itihaas mein bahut tandav macha hai (History is full of such examples). But now if anything happens, I will ask, \u2018What is the problem?\u2019 I will ask if I am hurting a community, misrepresenting history, telling a false story, and then I will edit it on my own. Because a lot of money is invested in films,\u201d he said. Ravi said that there have been instances where films have received 50-100 cuts as well.Ravi will next be seen in Mirzapur \u2013 The Movie. The film, which is based on the Amazon Prime Video web series, has been severely critcised for its use of expletives. The film releases in theatres on September 4.<\/div>\n
