MS.Raju on ban of obscene content. The Union Government few days back banned 25 over-the-top (OTT) platforms for allegedly hosting obscene, vulgar, and pornographic material.
Now, star producer MS.Raju speaking to scribes said “Pornography has become rampant in digital space and it needs to be curtailed.” He further remarked, “Three decades ago, blue films were shown in shady parlours and people used to flee at the sound of police sirens. But now it’s come right into your phone and laptop. That must be stopped.”
MS.Raju said “I don’t want to name names, but obscenity has grown by leaps and bounds. Some OTT apps have become bolder and ride on sleaze and cuss words. Above all, the apps became easily accessible to the younger generation, and that can damage their minds,”
MS.Raju pointed out “Good content is what works today. The success of films like Saiyyaara and Court proves that viewers prefer decent stories with well-etched characters.”
