Benegal, a celebrated filmmaker, told PTI that a "preliminary meeting" of the committee will take place tomorrow and added that members would also have an interaction with Jaitley who will be in Mumbai.
The government had on January 1 constituted a committee headed by Benegal to look into the revamp of the Censor Board functioning which has been mired in controversies in recent past.
The panel, which has been asked to submit its report in two months, includes filmmaker Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra, adman Piyush Pandey and film critic Bhawana Somaaya.
Later, Minister of State for I&B Rajyavardhan Rathore also tweeted that he would be in Mumbai to attend the meeting.
"In Mumbai to attend 1st mtg of Shyam Benegal Panel on CBFC, chaired by @arunjaitley ji tmrw; Govt comtd 2 renew CBFC imbibing creative nuances," Rathore said in his tweet.
