TFPC cancels film shootings from March 16th

South Indian Film Producer Council India called for a complete lockout of movie theatres from March 2nd in South India. Except in the Telugu states, the lockout is continuing in Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Kerala. Adding to this, the Tamil Film Producer Council (TFPC) stated that, all the shootings and post-production works should be boycotted from March 16th onwards. Along with this, no new films will also be released.
For a very long time, Producers’ Councils across various film industries have been fighting for eliminating the Virtual Print fees, which the Digital Service Providers charge from the theatre owners and producers.
The TFPC also called for a reduction in online ticket booking service charge, computerized ticketing in all theatres, allotting considerable theatres for small films, and keeping a constant check on the ticketing prices.
Though representatives of Digital Service Providers and the Producers’ Council met a couple of times in the last few days, they failed to strike a common balance. It will be interesting to see, how far will this go, especially keeping in mind about Rajinikanth’s Kaala release, and other Tamil movies.
