David Dhawan, a renowned director in Hindi cinema's comedy genre, has spoken out about the increased scrutiny of comedy films in recent years. In a recent interview, he stated that filmmakers now face many 'restrictions' and that 'you can't degrade a woman in films today.' He cited the censor board's proactive approach as a reason for his increased sensitivity towards women characters in his films.
With a career spanning nearly four decades, David Dhawan has made a name for himself with iconic hits like Judwaa, Coolie No. 1, and Raja Babu. However, he admitted that things have changed from his heyday in the 90s and that filmmakers now face many challenges.
David Dhawan's upcoming film, Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai, is set to release in theatres on June 5, starring Varun Dhawan, Mrunal Thakur, and Pooja Hegde. The film festival, which served as a prelude to the film's release, was organised by PVR INOX.
