Panaji: Filmmaker Shekhar Kapur feels the solution to the ongoing intolerance debate in the country does not lie in returning awards.

The 69-year-old director said he fails to understand the issue of censorship and fought for three years and even went to the Supreme Court for his 1994 film “Bandit Queen”.
