Speaking at a press meeting organized in the capital on Thursday, KC said their voices were not heard. The concept of establishing studios for the promotion of Nepali films is positive, but the decision to impose just one percent tax on imports of foreign movies instead of the proposal for five percent is concerning, he said.
