National award winning director and screenwriter Neeraj Ghaywan says that writers in today’s time are pre-censoring their screenplays and the reason behind this is the constant resistance that artistes face from various factions for showing the true picture. Ghaywan has directed a digital film to flag off Quaker’s ‘Fuel For The Real Fit’ campaign that focuses on mental healthiness with right food.
Talking about how difficult or easy is it for makers like him to have his mental fitness intact especially when there is so much of restriction related to freedom of expression, he says that “It gets frustrating but you have to say what you want to say. Artists often face resistance from various factions. The result is that writers are now pre-censoring their screenplays. We are shying away from depicting a truer picture of our times and passing on to future generations,” Ghaywan, who has previously directed Masaan, said.
