Karan Johar discussed the social responsibility of filmmakers, emphasizing that one film alone cannot bring about societal change.
As reported by Pinkvilla, during his appearance at a recent event, the 51-year-old Indian filmmaker acknowledged that cinema can influence societal change gradually, underscoring the significant responsibility filmmakers bear for their message.
The Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani director also emphasized that one film alone cannot alter the fundamental fabric of society.
He explained, "What we project and what we say, we have to consider it with some amount of sensitivity because people take the spoken word very seriously."
"Of course, no one can change the fabric of society with one feature film. It is not possible."
"It takes a lot of work and a lot of cinemas if you want to drive home a point today. I believe so many films that talk about women empowerment are finally hitting home today. Nothing happens overnight."
Moreover, Karan also touched upon the topic of films that may have negative impacts on society.
He said, "There have been films that continue to be harmful, but I hope those filmmakers realize with time how important the platform they have is, how important their voices are."
