News Agencies | Updated on: 13 February 2017, 10:33 IST

Vivek Oberoi, who will be seen next in Adult Comedy, Great Grand Masti feels that censor board has to be liberal with the content.

"Honestly, I'm not a fan of censorship and I do not believe in it. I believe we have to proceed and progress through the time. I was asked by some people from government (about it), and this is the opinion I gave them," he said at an event here.

The censor board has been in news of late as it snipped by half the length of a kiss in James Bond movie Spectre.

"I'm not saying that tomorrow people are going to show porn in theatres, but yes of course there has to be more liberalism with time. It is not good that we're following the 1952 act, it is needed to upgrade. And that is a sign of a maturity," he added.

Currently shooting for Great Grand Masti, Vivek spoke about his future project Bank Chor with Yash Raj Films, and said:

"I was happy when Adi (Aditya Chopra) called me for the film. The film is exciting... mad. The director, Bumpy is very young and edgy and I think the film going to surprise people."
