The grand opening ceremony of Tamil Film Producers Council Office along with the announcement of Mastering, Cloning, and Delivery of contents to theatres was held this evening here in Chennai. The event was graced by Tamil Film Producers Council President Vishal, Vice-President R. Parthiepan, Secretaries – Kathiresan and SS Durairaj along with the executive committee members – Manoj Kumar, Praveen Kanth, Mittai Anbu, Winner Ramachandran, Shankar, S.S. Albert of Microplex Global Pvt. Ltd, Ranjit Thakur of Prime Focus Digital Business Head.

TFPC President actor Vishal said, “On the behalf of TFPC, I would like to extend my heartiest thanks to Mr. Albert of Microplex for giving us such a good space. So far, we have come across such work ambiance only for IT and corporate offices, but this is the first ever time, a union in the film industry is getting such a workspace. It all happened before a few months, where we were having a casual interaction about the expenses that we had to go through for the couple of TFPC offices. At this point of time, Mr. Albert Selvam, Chairman of Microplex Global Pvt Ltd came forward and gave us the working space here without rent, which is something really phenomenal. The main operations will be continuing from the other TPFC offices and this will be an additional one as well. I welcome Mr. Ranjith of Prime Focus into Tamil film industry. Having carved a niche of excellence through the services provided through Prime Focus, we as producers are so much delighted that this joint venture with them will definitely yield beneficial results. Especially, this is going to be a real big boon for the producers, who had succumbed to unbearable burdens of paying for the projectors, which actually doesn’t belong to them. Now with the association of Prime Focus and Multiplex, Tamil Film Producer Council has a good clarity of proceeding with the promised visions. I am sure, the Visual Projection Fee will be reduced to a greater extent resulting in a major relief to the small time producers. In addition, I am so much thankful to Albert for making the challenging dream of ‘Mastering Unit’ come true. When we had proposed this idea of Mastering Unit, many in the industry had suggested it to be a difficult one. But on the basis of shared contribution and with the great aid of Albert, things have become possible now. There is something really special about this Microplex unit as it has wonderful attributes of Preview Theatre accommodating 50 recliner seats, which can be used by small time producers for censor and special preview screening.”

In addition, Tamil Film Producers Council President Vishal said that the preparations are going on full swing over the Ilaiyaraaja 75 that is being held on February 2 and 3. “I am sure, it is going to be one of the most greatest and memorable events in the pages of Tamil film industry.”
