Monday, 29th Dec 2014, 3:01 PM IST After Anurag Kashyap, now even Farhan Akhtar is against the anti-smoking disclaimer in films. The actor says that it disturbs the audience and causes a lapse of concentration. Talking about it, Farhan said, “We all are in agreement that smoking is injurious to health. But is running a disclaimer as a sub-title during a scene the solution to the problem? The answer is 'no'. It is like putting the lights on in the hall during a scene and expecting not to disturb the audience or cause a lapse in their concentration. Is that possible? The answer again is 'no'." "The film industry had willingly accepted and proudly supported the anti smoking public awareness film by attaching it to prints and digital files, to be run before the start of a feature. But to have disclaimers in the film itself is stepping on the filmmakers' toes, demanding that the creator compromise on his integrity. We have a rating system that decides the appropriate age limits for film viewing. I'm sure that smoking can be dealt with through this certification system," the actor added.
