The Indian Film And Television Direc­tors’ Association (IFTDA) has written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, demanding an official industry status for Bolly­wood. The letter, dated 25th May, states that although our films match in quality with films of Hollywood and other nations, our industry has been denied the recognition it deserves.
