A lot has been discussed about the responsibility of cinema and filmmakers lately on social media. Karan Johar who has been one of the most vocal filmmakers in the past many years recently addressed the importance of sensitivity while making films.

Karan Johar on how one film can't change society
Karan Johar recently became a part of AIMA's (All India Management Association) 9th National Leadership Conclave in Delhi. While speaking at the event, the filmmaker admitted that cinema brings a change in society over a period of time thus filmmakers have a tremendous responsibility towards what they say. However, he added that one film can't change the fabric of the society.
"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 cinema 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," he said.
He also addressed the issue of 'harmful films' in the society and added. "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."
