"If ministers want to promote cinema, they needn't go to Cannes. Give us a revised CBFC, help in theatrical distribution of regional/alternate cinema, and ensure our films release without politically motivated protests," Dholakia tweeted. Every year, a few government officials participate at the India Pavilion at the Cannes Film Festival. The event gets underway this year on May 8.
