Vivek on Adipursh
In an interview with India.com, Vivek said in Hindi, “Asta ki jo chezein hain, we hume bahot, responsible aul sensitive lena chahiye. Aapki kya aastha hai, kisi ki kya aastha hai…jaise kisi ka bacha hai aur maa ko agta hai ki mera bacha duniya me sabse sundar hai, toh mujhe koi haq nahi bolne ka ki vo thoda kam sundar hai ya nahi sundar hai. Vo maa ki aastha aur prem ha. Aur uspe thes pahochana, usko aahat karna apnee aap me paap-purna karye hai (When you make a film about people’s faith, one has to be very sensitive and responsible. Beliefs can differ from mine, as if a mother believes her child is the most beautiful child in the world, I have no right to prove her wrong, Because it’s her faith and love There’s no logic when it comes to matters of faith and love Trying to shake their faith, hurting their feelings and feelings It’s their faith itself that’s a sin ).
Asked if the CBFC committee objected to Adipurush’s various scenes and conversations, he said: We don’t watch movies for certification. This movie is watched by ordinary men and women. I don’t know at what stage this movie happened or who saw it. I haven’t seen the movie yet, so I don’t know much about it. As you can see from my past remarks and comments, I basically don’t talk about other films. I don’t give an opinion on the good or bad of other people’s movies. But I think the issue of faith is a very delicate one. ”
