Currently, there is no censorship on the digital platform but there are reports that the government is planning to regulate the content on the web medium. Ritesh Sidhwani, the the producer of Mirzapur stated in an interview with IANS: "I am not for censorship (on the web medium). We are rather fighting for censorship to go away even for movies. It is not existing for television. I think first they need to take steps as to what they are going to do for TV. If they are allowing self-censorship on TV medium for broadcast, then the same should apply (for digital platform).
