Shekhar Kapur feels solution does not lie in returning awards
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”.
“Around 40 per cent of the audience can’t eat and your biggest concern is a kissing scene in James Bond, which has been cut short? I believed in ‘Bandit Queen’.I fought at the Supreme Court for the film for three years,” he said.
