“We are often restricted by our own selves. But let me tell you that today’s actors are more evolved. Yet even as a filmmaker we can’t blatantly show such scenes, it becomes boring after a while. I find porn films boring, but I loved erotica. But my culture always stops me from doing too many of such scenes. I never ever use abusive language. People say that it is used very openly, so why not use in films. But that’s not our culture. Even today I hide my cigarette when I see the elders of my family. Why? It is because we have been brought up that way. They know I smoke, but I hide it out of respect. Similarly, it’s the respect of my audience that stops me from doing such scenes,” says Tigmanshu.
