The purpose of the Bill is to ensure that content is not affected by piracy and safeguards the interest and investments of producers and filmmakers.
The Bill proposes imprisonment and fine, making Camcording an offence and provisions to block websites transmitting unauthorized copies of films.
Sharing the bill, Maddock Films tweeted, “Kudos to the Cabinet's approval in the amendment of the Cinematographer Act, 1952 age based certification and anti-piracy measures are brilliant steps towards ensuring better business at the movies. We at Maddock films applaud this fantastic move!”
Under the proposed amendments pertaining to the certification of films under the 'unrestricted public exhibition', the Bill has introduced new film certification categories including 'U' or universal, 'U/A 7+', 'U/A 13+', and 'U/A 16+', besides an ‘A’ rating for content restricted for viewing by only adults.
Maddock Films has a slew of releases for coming years, such as Happy Teacher's Day starring Nimrat Kaur and Radhika Madan, Zara Hatke Zara Bach Ke starring Vicky Kaushal and Sara Ali Khan, Tehran starring John Abraham and Manushi Chhillar, Section 36 starring Deepak Dobriyal, Vikrant Massey, untitled romantic drama starring Shahid Kapoor and Kriti Sanon.
