He further said, “Films and society are a reflection of each other. What you see in films is happening in society and what is happening in society is seen in films. This shows India is changing. Earlier, poverty was considered a virtue… Films were about poverty, helplessness. Now, along with problems, solutions are also being seen. If there are a million problems, there are a billion solutions.”

PM Modi also asserted that the films change the thinking process of the viewers without their knowledge or realization. He also added that the government also plans to amend The Cinematography Act of 1952 for addressing the issue related to piracy of films.

Hours later, the ‘Uri’ actor Vicky Kaushal retweeted the video.
