MUMBAI: Filmmaker-actor Anurag Kashyap has expressed his thoughts on the concept of morality in art. He has been getting a lot of great feedback for his role in the streaming series "Bad Cop." The director questioned why it is solely the duty of those in the film fraternity to effect positive social change and why they face criticism if they do the opposite.

Anurag said, “Morality insaan ki apni hoti hai, a filmmaker can show whatever he or she wants in their film (Barring a few exceptions, morality is very subjective and is very personal). People think that it's the members of the film fraternity who introduce bad things in society or uplift the society.”
He further continued, “Why is it considered the sole responsibility of filmmakers? Jisko jo banana hai wo banaaye, jisko jo dikhana hai wo dikhaaye (A filmmaker can make or show whatever they like as it is their film). You can't impose your morality or worldview on others. If a person becomes so powerful that he or she can impose their morality on others then they become a dictator.”
He said, “If you read about the beginnings of Pol Pot, you will understand where I'm coming from. He was a simple doctor and his intentions were very different when he started, and see what he did.”
