On 30 July 2016 the association organized a protest rally outside of Bangladesh National Press Club to protest against the government decision to allow the screening of a number of Hindi movies in local theaters.[6]

In April 2017 the association banned its members from working with Shakib Khan after he made comments in the press criticizing directors.[7][8]
