'Creativity is all about thoughts'

With the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) acting tough on several filmmakers over their content, actor Anushka Sharma feels there should not be restrictions on creativity.

“I think there should be certification and not censorship and this is how the situation can get resolved. People are intelligent enough when they are called adults as they know what is right and wrong. Let’s not think that they (adults) are foolish... They are not children,” Anushka said recently.

“Creativity is all about thoughts. If you tell someone don’t think this way or that way, then you will not be able to create something great, you have to give liberty. Everyone is working within means no one is abusing just like that,” she added.

The 28-year-old actor too had a tough time in clearing her debut home production film ‘NH 10’ with the CBFC. “In case of ‘NH 10’ in Haryana every third word is a ‘gaali’ (abusive word or expletive) and we showed reality that is how they talk. And what was shown was within reasonable restriction. But 87 cuts on a film and it just passes with one cut..it shows it (CBFC) should change,” Anushka said referring to the ‘Udta Punjab’ row.
