New Delhi, Apr 28, 2013, (PTI): <\/p>\n
\"Rang De Basanti\" helmer Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra feels that filmmakers should exercise self-censorship while making a film in the nation of culturally diverse population. <\/p>\n
The 40-year-old filmmaker's last release \"Delhi-6\" faced criticism for the treatment given to Divya Dutta's character of a female cleaner in the 2009 film. <\/p>\n
\"Sometimes we filmmaker cross the line in the guise of freedom and creativity. I believe we have to take a call of self-censorship and if there is a law that doesn't mean we have to break it in the name of freedom of expression. <\/p>\n
\"Rather, we should be responsible to our craft in the nation of diverse cultures and traditions,\" Mehra said while speaking on the topic of \"We: The Offended\" at the Centenary Film Festival here. <\/p>\n
His Aamir Khan starrer film \"Rang De Basanti\" had also faced stiff resistance from the Indian Defence Ministry due to parts that depicted the use of MiG-21 fighter aircraft. <\/p>\n
\"I made a film whose turning point was the MIGs crash issue. I was sensitive to that issue because I am from Air Force School and expressing my views on it was inevitable. I knew we were entering in their domain but I didn't make any changes suggested by the ministry,\" he added. <\/p>\n
