I am trying to explore the world of crime. As a filmmaker, I took the artistic liberty to show that my characters and dialogues mirror the setting of the story and stay true to its universe. Else it’s like doing an injustice to the narrative.
Shaitan is not a vulgar film but it is set in a crime world. My poster and trailer clearly show what kind of a show it is, so the audience has a clear choice of whether to watch it or not.
Just like how an artist (writer, etc) explores his flow of thoughts, a director too has the creative freedom to express his words" added the director.
