The Information and Broadcasting ministry released a letter on Tuesday stating that credits of Hindi films should be in Hindi too. This is for people who do not know English and are watching the movie so they are not deprived of the information about the cast and crew.

Bollywood filmmakers have been intimated that their films' credit rolls must appear in Hindi, or bilingually (Hindi and English). The directive will be put into effect in a month's time. The move has generated a mixed response from producers and trade pundits.
