Telugu crime drama web series Shaitan has been the topic of discussion since the release of its trailer on June 5. It evoked mixed reactions from the audience, some appreciated it while others called it vulgar and violent. The director Mahi V Raghav has now shared his opinion exclusively with India Today about the reaction of the audience.
Raghav said that it’s very subjective to talk about what is vulgar or violent. The director claimed that he has a body of work where there’s not been even a single censor cut because of anything vulgar. According to him, this is not a shortcut to get the audience to watch the series. He further said that he is trying to tell a story here. Raghav added that the tagline of Shaitan is “What you call crime they call survival” and he gives a non-judgmental view of the criminal.
