"I want to know, why should I bother to become a member of any of the film associations, pay them for the privilege, register and re-register my titles for a fee and still get copyright-challenged by any producer who wants to take my title? It's like paying hafta and still being beaten up," said the miffed filmmaker.
She wants the film associations to get their act together and their procedures in place.
"A producer like Vipul Shah exploits a loophole in a rotten, outdated system where the film associations violate one another's rules and interests and then pass on the buck," she said.
Meanwhile, she says her title "Holiday" remains registered till 2016.
