National Award winning director Rahul Dholakia of "Parzania" and "Raees" fame, says ministers don't need to go to the Cannes Film Festival to promote the country's cinema.

"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.
