Amid filmstars including Salman Khan openly supporting the students in their protest against Gajendra Chauhan, the new chairman of the Film and Television Institute of India, the government has decided to replace the director of the institute, DJ Narain, with Prashant Pathrabe, former head of the National Film Archives of India. Narain, who according to FTII sources is quite popular with the students, had taken over the institute in 2011. His term ends later this month and sources said that the government was not keen on giving an extension to the director. Pathrabe has been in the media field for more than 18 years, having previously worked in Doordarshan News and AIR News in Mumbai.
