California legislature takes note of Hollywood films ban

"The action and words in Bangalore have caught the attention of law makers in the United States. This was possible because Variety, one of most influential film journals in the world published from California, carried a news report in its edition dated August 19 — ‘Foreign pics face seven-week delay’. “The article has caught the attention of California’s legislature,” says Dhananjay.

The article has reportedly been included in the long list of documents collected by California legislators to justify their Bill to ban outsourcing. Apparently, they are seeking to justify their ban on outsourcing to India by citing Indian restrictions on the screening of Hollywood movies."
