Producer director Boney Kapoor, the newly elected president of the Film Federation of India (FFI), plans to streamline the functioning of the industry with his innovative ideas.

"The streamlining process is all the more necessary at a stage when major corporate houses are making their foray into production. I intend to get all the organisations under one umbrella and have a collective representation for all problems pertaining to the industry," Bollywood Trade quoted him as saying.

His leadership is also being counted upon to cut across barriers and elevate the industry status.

"I am not a miracle man to change things overnight but I will definitely try to use my 25-year experience to make a difference to the functioning of the film trade. I want to give it my level best.

"I want to give the industry a new image of a very organised and happening industry," he said.

He said the film industry's cup of woes was full at the moment.

"Taxes are being imposed at every stage, which is a major deterrent. Another major problem is rampant piracy, which is affecting the collections of films at the box office. The two need to be tackled with an organised plan of action."
