Hi Members . . .

I just want to know whether a QUALIFIED CA can act in MOVIES . . .

Is it permitted by ICAI if a Chartered Accountant wishes to be a film artist.

and if so

is it the same case with a Practising CA . . .

ThanQ All . . .

Yes, A CA in practise can act in the Films,

In One of our Telugu movie One of the Central council Member acted , Hes was the boss of the Heroien,

But He should not disclose, his firms name in the Film, It tantamounts to Professional Misconduct as per Clause 7, Part-1 , First schedule.

I also thought prior permission of ICAI is reguired and institute never stopped any of its member to act in the film because by this the name of institute may be famous more to general public.
