more-inAlthough the Tamil film industry strike was formally called off on Tuesday night, some prominent names in the industry have called for the continuation of the strike until May 3 when the Centre is set to submit draft ‘Scheme’ on Cauvery water sharing to the Supreme Court. Chidambaram Stadium and Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to the city during the Defexpo 2018, said the office-bearers of Tamil Film Producers Council (TFPC) must take this decision voluntarily. “It is completely up to our producers, they are free to not release movies,” he said. He added, “The State government played an important role resolving the strike after 45 days. And it will be unfair to stop producers who want to release their movies.”
