Shaktiman AKA Mukesh Khanna demands panel to vet films on Mythology

Actor Mukesh Khanna has called for a dedicated commission to review films based on historical and mythological subjects, including the Ramayana, Mahabharata and religious figures such as Lord Ganesha. Criticising the Censor Board's role in preventing inappropriate portrayals, Khanna said filmmakers should be required to obtain approval from a committee of scholars before starting production. Citing the portrayal of Goddess Sita in a fighting scene in Nitesh Tiwari’s ‘Ramayana’ as an example, he stressed that matters of religion and faith must be handled responsibly and should not be taken lightly.
