Maalai Malar reports that the South Indian Stunt Directors and Actors Union, which completes 50 years on 26 August, had requested the TFPC to halt shooting for a day, in order to allow its members to attend the union’s celebrations. A meeting was called for by the TFPC, in which they discussed the issue, and agreed to call for a halt of shooting across the state.
This comes on the back of a series of negotiations and strikes by Tamil Nadu filmmakers — a theatre strike protesting the local taxes and GST, followed by the altercation between FEFSI and TFPC over pay scale issues, among others.
