Is section 44AD applicable to Animation Profession. Since they are professionals and get 10% profession fees deducted from their fees. Can they still opt for 44AD. Is there any possibility.

44AA. (1) Every person carrying on legal, medical, engineering or architectural profession or the profession of accountancy or technical consultancy or interior decoration or any other profession as is notified by the Board in the Official Gazette.
The animation per se is NOT notified as profession by CBDT
