Actors and directors throughout the country unite against Centre 

Centre Government recently released the draft of Cinematograph (Amendment) Bill 2021 which dictates that Centre will have power over the CBFC to review and examine any film and make changes to it which cannot be overruled by the Censor Board. As this will give supreme power to the government to regulate what can be shown to audience what should be banned, it endangers the freedom of expression of filmmakers.

Film fraternity throughout the country including Anurag Kashyap, Hansal Mehta, Shabana Azmi, Farhan Akhtar, and Dibakar Banerjee, Kamal Hassan and others have started opposing the bill. Farhan Akhtar said, "We have had a CBFC Board for about 50-55 years, and we respect them for who they are. We would prefer it if they could certify our films."

Filmmaker Vishal Bhardwaj tweeted, "New proposals on cinema censorship are wrong, unnecessary. Film board and courts are enough.” Kamal Hassan also opposed the ammendment by tweeting, "Cinema, media and the literati cannot afford to be the three iconic monkeys of India. Seeing, hearing and speaking of impending evil is the only medication against attempts to injure and debilitate democracy."
