Mumbai, Sep 11: Actor Ranvir Shorey calls his latest MX Player series Bindiya Ke Bahubali “entertainment, entertainment, and entertainment,” but says censorship still looms large over Indian art.

In an exclusive chat with NDTV, Shorey said Indian society is “not mature enough to deal with no censorship,” adding that violence over disagreement fuels restrictions. Director Raj Amit Kumar revealed the series had to use fictional caste names after “financial censorship” concerns, a compromise to get producers on board.

Shorey plays Chote Davan, a sharp-witted gangster-peacemaker in the fictional Bihar town of Bindiya. “It’s rustic on the surface but nuanced and layered,” he said, describing the role as dramatic yet laced with humor.

Reflecting on his career, the Khosla Ka Ghosla star highlighted memorable roles in Traffic Signal, Sonchiriya and more, but avoids dwelling on the past. He also spoke about reality TV, saying Bigg Boss isn’t scripted but “broadly manipulated” to spark conflict.

Shorey will reprise his role in Bindiya Ke Bahubali Season 2, promising more of the “bloodier, dirtier picture” that fans enjoyed in the first season.
