Filmmaker Rajkumar Hirani addressed concerns about proposed U.S. tariffs on foreign films at a special session organized by the Merchants Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Kolkata. The director stated that confusion surrounds the announcement, as producers and distributors lack clarity on its implications. He noted that overseas markets contribute 40 to 50 percent of Indian cinema revenue, but the industry has not yet experienced any effects from the proposed policy.

President Donald Trump announced plans to impose a 100 percent tariff on films produced outside the United States, framing the measure as protection for domestic jobs. Legal experts question whether presidential authority extends to tariffs on intellectual property and digital services without congressional approval. Industry observers warn that the proposal could increase costs, disrupt international partnerships, and trigger retaliatory actions from other nations.
