Chennai: The Tamil Film Producers\u2019 Council (TFPC) has accused film, television and stage actors\u2019 union Nadigar Sangam of lying, and said they did inform it about producers facing financial problems because of the inability of actors such as Dhanush to commit to dates for shoots.<\/p>\n
According to an TFPC statement issued on August 1, the producers\u2019 body had informed the Nadigar Sangam a year ago about five top stars whose \u2018call sheets\u2019 were \u201ccausing a lot of headaches\u201d to producers. This was also reported in the media at that time, the statement pointed out. The TFPC held a meeting on Friday to review the decisions they made public on July 29.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was only when Nadigar Sangam could not give any concrete solutions to us that we went public with our decisions, to safeguard our interests,\u201d the statement said. Besides calling out Dhanush, the producers\u2019 body had also said on July 29 that there will be no shooting from November 1, until the issue of the skyrocketing fees of artistes and technicians is sorted out. The producers also said the actors and technicians can be signed on for new films only after they complete their existing projects.<\/p>\n
The TFPC had also called for a temporary ban on signing new films from August 15 to put in place fresh guidelines. The producers said they were forced to set new guidelines as several producers are suffering because they have been unable to screen their films due to unavailability of theatres. The producers\u2019 body also insisted that films featuring big stars be released on OTT platforms only after they are screened in theatres for eight weeks.<\/p>\n
The demands of the producers have been met with stiff resistance from The South Indian Artistes\u2019 Association (SIAA) \u2014 the official name of Nadigar Sangam.<\/p>\n
The same day, on July 29, actor Karthi and a few other representatives of SIAA told reporters that the TFPC\u2019s decisions, particularly the one calling for stopping shooting of films from November 1, are \u201carbitrary and illegal\u201d and would affect the livelihoods of thousands of people involved in filmmaking.<\/p>\n
They also claimed that Dhanush\u2019s name was dropped by the producers\u2019 body out of the blue, without due process being followed. However, the TFPC is standing firm in its decision to stop the shooting of films from November 11, until new guidelines are in place.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe others (Tamil Film Producers\u2019 Association, Tamil Nadu Distributors\u2019 Association and Tamil Nadu Theatre and Multiplex Owners\u2019 Association) have agreed to the decisions. It is only fair that Nadigar Sangam too agrees to these conditions,\u201d the TFPC statement said.<\/p>\n
