Kerala Film Bodies Challenge CBFC Guidelines on Film Titles and Release Dates
Kerala film industry bodies, including the Kerala Film Chamber of Commerce and the Film Producers Association, have raised concerns over the Central Board of Film Certification's (CBFC) new guidelines stating that film titles and release dates are not final despite promotional activities. They argue this undermines producers' control over marketing and creative decisions, calling it an unnecessary expansion of CBFC's powers. The bodies plan to meet government officials and consider legal action to challenge the advisory, emphasizing the importance of fixed titles for commercial identity and promotional planning.
