There were also reports in the press of affiliates opposing the FWICE on this matter. Kamlesh Pandey, President, FWICE, said, “90 per cent of the affiliates, who had earlier been made to sign a paper by Ashoke Pandit (President of Indian Film and Television Directors’ Association) opposing the FWICE decision, had withdrawn their objections the next day itself.
