Panaji: Actor-politician and Central Board for Film Certification (CBFC) member Vani Tripathi says they are brainstorming on how to implement the recommendations put forth by filmmaker Shyam Benegal.
Vani says some of the recommendations by the veteran filmmaker will require making changes in the Cinematograph Act.
“There is a lot of thinking which is happening and the recommendations have been discussed thread-bare. I think some of the committee recommendations will probably require the amendment of the Cinematograph Act 1952,” Vani told.
“The Shyam Benegal committee recommendations, as the I&B minister M Venkaiah Naidu said in the opening ceremony, are being looked at. We are very focused and poised to look at it very seriously. A lot of thinking is already happening at that front,” she added.
Pahlaj Nihalani-led CBFC has been mired in controversies for cuts issued in films with filmmakers demanding changes in the way films are certified.
