Actor: Films Mirror Society's Gruesome Reality
3 Sep
Summary
- Abhishek Banerjee believes films depict existing societal violence, not create it.
- He argues street violence is more gruesome than depicted on screen.
- Mirzapur: The Movie faced restrictions, reducing abusive words for theatrical release.
Abhishek Banerjee, known for his role as Compounder, is addressing the intense violence and strong language featured in the 'Mirzapur' franchise ahead of 'Mirzapur: The Movie's release on September 4.
Banerjee argues that films do not incite violence but rather reflect the harsh realities and brutality that already exist within society. He suggested that on-screen depictions are often less gruesome than actual street violence, stating, "A lot more gruesome violence is happening on the streets."
He further explained that 'Mirzapur: The Movie,' unlike the series, encountered more restrictions for its theatrical release. Consequently, the filmmakers reduced the use of abusive language and made other content adjustments to comply with cinematic standards.
The film is set to bring back familiar characters, with Abhishek Banerjee, Pankaj Tripathi, Ali Fazal, Divyenndu, Jitendra Kumar, and Ravi Kishan reprising their roles.
