Filmmakers and actors often land themselves in trouble when their projects try to tackle religion or socio-political issues. Recently, a group in Hyderabad filed a complaint against internet sensation actor Priya Prakash Varrier\u2019s song in the Malyalam film Oru Adaar Love for hurting religious statements. Earlier, Sanjay Leela Bhansali\u2019s Padmaavat, too, got into trouble with Karni Sena, forcing the makers to push the release. Actor Nimrat Kaur feels \u201csad\u201d when artists aren\u2019t given the freedom to express themselves.<\/p>\n
\u201cI feel that in art, there is no place for politics. These kind of things (protests against films) keep happening. It makes me sad. This happened with filmmaker Karan Johar when he made My Name is Khan (2010). Then Pakistani artists were banned in India. It\u2019s just sad that these things happen and artists are not allowed the freedom to express,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n
The 34-year-old actor says that an artist feels \u201chelpless\u201d in such situations. She is apprehensive that this can happen to anyone in the film industry. \u201cTomorrow it could me. I could be a part of a project and someone might feel that it\u2019s hurting their sentiments. And they can start protesting against me. You feel so helpless in situations like these. A lot of time, money and effort goes into the making of a film. Who would want to do that just to hurt someone\u2019s sentiments? No one is making a film, or a piece of art to hurt anyone,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
