Tamil Film Industry To Go On Strike From November? Prabhudheva Reacts

There is a strong  rumour doing the rounds that that all work in the  Tamil film industry will come to  a grinding halt from November 1.This is  what  The Tamil Film Producers Council  has apparently decided. At a meeting on  July 29 the  Tamil Film Producers Council put forward several  grievances  on  behalf  of the Tamil film industry including the  steep  star wages, the premature  streaming of new Tamil releases on OTT without a decent gap and the  low payment for  technicians.

  This writer   spoke  to several  luminaries in the  film industry. Says  actor-director-choreographer  Prabhu Deva, “The situation seems  to be like that only. But what is going to  happen, nobody knows.”
