For the past few months, there have been calls to establish censorship in the OTT space to crack down on abusive language and obscenities in its content. But actor Suniel Shetty is not in favour of the idea, saying it may be tough to make the calls.

The Dharavi Bank actor, who is exploring the web space in his second innings, feels everyone should be morally responsible while putting out content. “There is a very fine line. For instance, if you are taking advantage of no censorship in the space to sell junk, then it’s not fair. Restrictions when it comes to age and content should very much be there,” Shetty tells us.

Explaining further, he adds, “If it harms an individual, a religion or causes an overall disturbance in the ecosystem, then it’s bad. You have to be morally responsible. I would not be part of such content because I feel there’s an audience for it. I don’t believe that only evil sells, so let’s hop onto the bandwagon. That is where we are going wrong. Every decade has its own set of problems. That being said, censorship is a very difficult process today. What do you censor and what do you not?”

Elaborating on being morally responsible, the 61-year-old says, “We come from a background where family matters a lot, as does society, from the perspective of not wanting to harm anybody. It matters a lot. We have to be conscious about this as producers, as actors and creators.”

On the work front, Shetty will be seen in several projects this year, including one on sports and another on health.

“I’m doing some really interesting things. There’s a film that I have completed for the web space,” he shares, adding, “I am excited about the [upcoming] projects, but don’t want to overdo anything. I am looking at everything from my perspective — the age perspective — while picking projects.”
