Vishal urges theaters union to give up strike

Vishal, the president of Tamil Film Producers’ Council, has urged Tamil Nadu Theater Owners Association to give up the indefinite strike which they’ve announced from July 3rd.

Theaters union has requested the state government to defer the 30% local body tax levied on movie tickets in addition to the GST of 28%. “If theaters union team had consulted with the producers council, we would have arrived at an amicable solution. The sudden strike has put a lot of producers at jeopardy. And, we also need to give sometime to the government to consider our request.”
