"The minute you try to forcefully cut something, which is organically true to it, you are going to hamper creativity. I have also read it (reports), many things are to be read and ignored," Sidhwani said. He was talking at the launch press conference of "Mirzapur" alongside actors like Pankaj Tripathi, Vikrant Massey, Ali Fazal, Divyenndu Sharma, Shweta Tripathi, Rasika Duggal, Shriya Pilgaonkar. The producer believes that the makers have to be responsible with their content.

"One has to be responsible as there is no guidelines. It should be true and organic and not forced. If it is forced it will stand out and you will not identify with it. In case of 'Inside Edge' everything is authentic, in terms of drugs and power play etc. 'Mirzapur' is set in hinterland of the country and it is all about staying true to the story," Ritesh said. He said due to streaming platforms like Amazon Prime Video and Netflix, the content is reaching out to wider audience. "We are able to go to about 200 countries. Also writers, filmmakers, actors are discovered in various countries."
