President of the Association, Dilip Kumar Bora said, “People do not recognize the producers as they always stay behind the film. The concept of producer for the people in Assam is just a fund provider. Actually they sacrifice a lot for making a movie. Therefore we are trying to give recognition to the producers’ sacrifices.”
Talking about the various demands of the Association for making a government film policy, Khound said that the Association had discussed with the State Government for several times earlier.
