NEW DELHI: The Election Commission on Tuesday allowed private television networks and cinema theatres to air films and commercial advertisements featuring actors who are contesting the election, but barred the state-run Doordarshan from telecasting such feature films.
In a communication sent to Prasar Bharti CEO; Director General, Doordarshan; and state chief electoral officers, the Commission said the telecast of films and commercials featuring actors and celebrities contesting these polls would not be restrained on private TV channels or in cinema halls. "However, telecast of such feature films (other than commercial advertisement) will not be allowed on Doordarshan during the period of the enforcement of model code of conduct, considering that Doordarshan is run on public funds," the EC said while asking action to be taken accordingly.
Among the filmstars in the fray in these polls are Hema Malini, Jaya Prada, Raj Babbar, Nagma, Vinod Khanna and Shatrughan Sinha.
