The 40-year-old filmmaker&#39;s last release &quot;Delhi-6&quot; faced criticism for the treatment given to Divya Dutta&#39;s character of a female cleaner in the 2009 film. &quot;Sometimes we filmmaker cross the line in the guise of freedom and creativity.u00a0 <img alt="Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2013/jan/Rakeysh-Omprakash.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 492px;" /> I believe we have to take a call of self-censorship and if there is a law that doesn&#39;t mean we have to break it in the name of freedom of expression. &quot;Rather, we should be responsible to our craft in the nation of diverse cultures and traditions,&quot; Mehra said while speaking on the topic of &quot;We: The Offended&quot; at the Centenary Film Festival here. His Aamir Khan starrer film &quot;Rang De Basanti&quot; had also faced stiff resistance from the Indian Defence Ministry due to parts that depicted the use of MiG-21 fighter aircraft. &quot;I made a film whose turning point was the MIGs crash issue. I was sensitive to that issue because I am from Air Force School and expressing my views on it was inevitable. I knew we were entering in their domain but I didn&#39;t make any changes suggested by the ministry,&quot; he added.u00a0
