Bollywood star Aamir Khan has resigned from the 10-member committee formed by the government to look into the proposed amendments to the Copyright Act.
"It seems to me that there is an attempt by certain people to attack me in public by printing lies about me, thereby turning the attention away from a genuine debate about copyright issues," Aamir wrote Tuesday to Human Resources Development Minister Kapil Sibal.
According to media reports, at a recent meeting between producers and writers over the issue of royalties, Aamir tried to take the credit from the writers by saying that a song's popularity depends on the star it was picturised on and not on the lyricist's efforts. His remarks apparently angered Javed Akhtar who said that the song "Papa kehte hain" became a hit despite the fact that Aamir was not a star at that time.
I think the title must be ''bollywood copyright act'
ReplyDeleteAs other than all members being from bollywood they are discussing films and related topics,,in no certain way this can be classified as generic copyright acts but then you never know, its India ruled few high caliber individuals selected by very high caliber people.
