Amid a raging row over Kamal Haasan's film "Vishwaroopam", the Centre today decided to have a "relook" at the Cinematograph Act and set up a committee to make the law more robust to ensure movies do not get stuck after clearances by the film certification board.        

Information and Broadcasting Minister Manish Tewari noted that the Act needed to be revisited to remove uncertainty with regard to a movie even after it has been cleared by the Central Board of Film Certification.    

He told reporters that he has asked the Information and Broadcasting Secretary to form a committee to have a relook at the Act and see if there is a need to amend it.   Tewari said the Committee will look into whether there is a need to make the "statutory architecture or the regulatory framework" of the Act more "robust" to ensure that the CBFC decision is implemented by the states.
