Amicus curiae suggests regulatory authority for entertainment industry

KOCHI: The amicus curiae appointed by the Kerala High Court has filed a report suggesting to constitute Kerala Entertainment Industry Regulatory Authority (KEIRA), an overarching body to regulate and develop the entertainment industry.

KEIRA should exercise comprehensive oversight and regulatory functions over the industry, including bodies like the Chalachithra Academy and Kerala State Film Development Corporation (KSFDC) and cinema collectives.

The report stated that centralising these functions will help streamline the regulatory process while allowing for greater coordination between various stakeholders, thereby ensuring transparency, accountability, and growth within the sector.
