Raza Murad Advocates Censorship on OTT Platforms for Social Protection

Veteran actor Raza Murad has urged for censorship on OTT platforms to safeguard social and cultural values. In an interview with ANI, he compared censorship to airport security and called for legal action against unacceptable content. Murad is renowned for roles in films like 'Ram Teri Ganga Maili' and 'Padmaavat.'

Veteran actor Raza Murad has openly advocated for censorship on OTT platforms to protect social and cultural values. In a conversation with ANI, he emphasized the necessity of regulating content, drawing a parallel to airport security measures.

'In my opinion, there should definitely be censorship on OTT platforms. Censorship is like the screening area at the airport. Everything passes through its scrutiny. If you're bringing illegal items, they get detected and stopped. Similarly, the Censor Board reviews films to ensure appropriateness. As self-censorship fails, offensive words and dialogues increasingly influence children,' Murad stated.

Murad expressed his belief that misuse of freedom warrants censorship and legal action against transgressors. The veteran actor, known for his powerful roles and voice, launched his career in the early 1970s. His notable works include 'Ram Teri Ganga Maili,' 'Prem Rog,' and 'Padmaavat' (ANI).
