So I was reading about Mammas boy - a modern day reboot of Mahabharat and clearly it is going to ruffle some feathers along the way and in my opinion, rightly so.
I feel like freedom comes with a price and this is why some religions strictly do not allow any kind of portrayal because some people will push their luck with it. When you let people be sometimes they push the boundaries in the name of freedom of speech. My question is are you OK to have someone play religious figures for commercial gain, for example this Mahabharat reboot, or Shivaay or how Ekta Kapoor takes things for granted and involves religious angles into her shows. I could think of many movies where some actor or actress potrayed a certain figure although in their personal life they are tainted and tarnished.
I dont understand what these directors get by making such stupid movies and plays that will hurt the sentiments of people. How is it funny to anyone is beyond me. Is it time Indian film industry including the TV industry do away with any religious portrayal of any characters and figures?
