Sending shock waves in film circles, the producers have decided not to allow the start of any new movie from September 7 (Thursday), alleging that the Film Employees Federation of South India had been demanding exorbitant wages, which are practically not possible.
‘It has been unanimously decided that from September 7 onwards, no new films will be commenced in all four southern languages,’ Kalyan, president of South Indian Film Chamber of Commerce, told reporters in Chennai Monday evening .
Most producers in all the four southern states are against the steep hike in wages demanded by the employees. SIFCC secretary Anandha Suresh said, 'We were holding talks with FEFSI for the last two months, but in vain. We are ready to hike their wages by 10 to 28 per cent but they didn’t budge an inch'.
