Newsclick interviewed Kislay, Ex. General Secretary of Film and Television Institute of India (FTII) on the issue of appointment of Gajendra Chauhan as the chairperson of the FTII governing council, which led to widespread protests. Students of FTII are on indefinite hunger strike on this issue. Kislay explains that the student’s body is not against Gajendra Chauhan because he has acted in B-grade or Soft Porn films but questions his ability to deal with serious film studies. He explains that as the governing council has power to take major decisions regarding the institution, induction of people who do not understand films as a medium, will degrade premier institutions such as FTII.
