Major crisis brewing!
The Tamil Film Producers Council (TFPC) has called for a meeting of producers, artists and technicians of two Pongal releases Aalwar and Pokiri on Sunday, Dec 31 in Chennai. The meeting has been called to sort out the vexing issues of distributors demanding a price cut, after the state government ordered a slash in admission rates from Jan 1, 2007.
The distributors are demanding at least a 30 percent reduction in the price of these two films.
So, Ajit, VXXXX, Asin, Vivek, Vadivelu and technicians like Prabhu Deva, Srikanth Deva, Mani Sharma, Nirav Shah who were paid in Lakhs will have to come for the meeting. And even more bizarre is the request that they will have to make a reimbursement of a percentage of the salaries that they have received from producers Mohan Natrajan and Ramesh Babu.
Mohan Natrajan is said to be in deficit while financier and producer Ramesh Babu may go ahead and release PXXXXXX on his own throughout the state after returning back the money paid by distributors who brought the film!
A crisis is brewing in Kollywood as artists may even refuse to attend the meeting and ask Nadigar Sangam to take up the issue!
