Few people cannot decide what a nation should watch: Rajamouli

'Baahubali' director SS Rajamouli has extended his support to 'Udta Punjab' team over censorship row, saying a few people cannot decide what the entire nation should watch.

The director, 42, best known for his blockbusters like '

Eega

' and 'Baahubali', said his sympathies are with the filmmakers, who are fighting against the multiple cuts suggested by the board.

"My sympathies lie with the filmmakers as I am a filmmaker myself. The simple logic is how can 6-7 or 10 members decide what is good or not good for the entire nation. Being a family head, I should decide what is good for me, my family or my kids to watch, not someone else,"

told PTI.

The director is in the city to receive CNN-News 18 'Indian of the Year: Entertainment 2015' award
