Anurag Kashyap has said that there should be no film censorship at all in Bollywood movies.

The 37-year-old director has claimed that it is not easy to criticise politicians or address sexual issues in films in India.

"There shouldn't be any censorship on making a film. We are still very conservative about the term sex," Kashyap told IANS at the Mumbai Film Festival (MFF).

"I am trying to push my boundaries so that everything in the film looks real."

Known for experimental films like Dev D, Kashyap also said that the global economic recession has been good for Bollywood.

"Recession has cut Bollywood into shape. Miscellaneous expenses were more than the actual cost of the film. Recession helped in cutting down the fat," said Kashyap.

"I always make a film on a tight budget, so UTV has signed me for nine films."
