I have been discussing this with both the chief minister and the deputy chief minister of Maharashtra and both seem to be understanding…
There could be a committee (to study the issue) and I might be a part of it,” Gokhale told reporters during an interaction at the 42nd International Film Festival of India (IFFI).

10 crore or Rs.15 crore. What happens to the honest producer who wants to make serious films? He stands no chance,” Gokhale said.
