Film producers will no longer have to obtain a no objection certificate from the animal welfare board if their films feature a non-performing animal.

The provision will be a feature of the fresh Cinematograph Bill which is being drafted by the Information and Broadcasting (I&B) ministry in place of the archaic Cinematograph Act, 1952, and stands a chance of being introduced in Parliament in the next session.
