Member of Parliament Shashi Tharoor introduced the Cinematograph (Amendment) Bill 2018, a private member's bill, in the Lok Sabha on Friday, 3 August.
The Congress leader stated that it was his intention to do away with the outdated methods of the existing Cinematograph Act which hamper artistic freedom.
Tharoor's bill lists four key points, which he highlighted in a series of tweets.
On Twitter, Tharoor thanked Bhatt and urged other filmmakers to speak to Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore, the Union minister of state for information and broadcasting, on the issue.
