Kerala Film Bodies Object to New CBFC Advisory Rules
What happened
The Kerala Film Chamber of Commerce and the Film Producers Association objected to new advisory rules issued by the Central Board of Film Certification. These rules state that a film's release date and title are not considered final, regardless of promotional activity. The film bodies argue that this represents an unnecessary expansion of the CBFC's authority.

Why it matters
The objection centers on the need for fixed titles, which are essential for various industry activities, including registration and ensuring titles are not offensive. The groups argue that allowing the CBFC ultimate control over film titles is excessive, given existing regulatory oversight.
