According to ETV Bharat, “As the production cost has increased and producers are facing additional financial burden, only the shooting of films that are already started production should be carried out in order to facilitate the restructuring by holding talks with all the associations related to the film industry. We had said that no new films should be started from November 1st.”

The discussions with a number of the 24 unions that make up FEFSI and the South Indian Actors’ Association have gone well. The last stage of negotiations has been reached with a few other unions.

According to News 18, Executives from the Tamil Film Producers Association, Tamil Nadu Theatre Owners Association, Tamil Nadu Theatre Multiple Association, Tamil Nadu Film Distributors Association, and TFPC were present at the meeting. The following resolutions were approved at the joint meeting:

• Only eight weeks after their theatrical release should movies with top actors be made available on over-the-top platforms.
• Actors and technicians now receive advance payments from production companies and go on to work on other movies, causing producers to suffer significant financial losses. It was agreed that any technician and actor who got a producer’s advance should finish the movie before going on to the others.
