There should be no censor: Prakash Jha
Prakash Jha, who is known for his socio-political films, is in favour of scrapping the Central Board of Film Certification as he questions “why should someone else have control over our morality and liking.”
Jha asserted that self-censorship should be the next step.
“I'm against censor. There should be no censor. People who want to see will see it anyway.
There should be self-censorship. Why should someone else have control over our morality, understanding and liking,” Jha said.
The Indian censor board has often attracted flak from members of the film fraternity and society for its cuts and diktats.
A recent example is the reduction in time of a kissing scene in Hollywood film Spectre.
The maker, known for movies like Gangaajal and Raajneeti, went on to add that vulgarity in cinema dies a natural death due to audience’s taste.

If everything goes right, it would be for the first time that SRK would be appearing on a Salman show. Earlier Salman had said, “I would love to have him (SRK) on the show, but he knows I don't mean this.”
Will Smith ready to enter politics
Will Smith says he might be ready to take his career in a new direction, and enter politics.
“I'm working really hard and my storytelling is elevating, my ability to be eloquent with my body and with my voice and to deliver ideas as an actor is elevating. And, you know, as I look at the political landscape, I think that there might be a future out there for me. They might need me out there,” Smith said. The actor said he's “incensed” with the current state of politics, and is therefore weighing up the idea of making a dramatic career switch.
“This is the first year that I've been incensed to a level that I can't sleep, you knowIJ So I'm feeling that at some point, in the near future, I will have to lend my voice to the conversation in a somewhat different way,” the I Am legend actor said. Meanwhile he also said that his career success can be largely credited to his work ethic. “I don't consider myself particularly talented, I consider myself slightly above average in talent,” he said.
