Chennai: Against the background of the representation of the Tamil film industry, Minister M K Stalin’s head on Tuesday urged the United States to withdraw the amendment proposed to the Cinematograph, 1952, and enabled functional autonomy of the central council certification.
In a letter to union information and the Minister of Prakash Javadekar Broadcasting and Law and Justice, Communication, Electronics and Information Technology Minister Ravishankar Prasad, said Minister of Chief, “Draft Cinematograph (Amendment) Bill, 2021, has caused serious concerns not only in the minds of the film brotherhood and the film industry but also among all intended parts of the community who appreciate freedom of expression.
