Kollywood Strike Called off, Tamil films likely to release from this Week

Kollywood Strike Called off: The 47-day film strike has been called off following the tripartite talks held between the Tamil Film Producers Council against QUBE and theatre owners in Tamil Nadu on Tuesday at the Secretariat. The state government had got involved in the issue with ministers Kadambur Raju and KC Veeramani holding talks with TFPC, theatre owners and digital service providers.

According to Sources, the State government said that the Virtual Print Fee (VPF) for e-cinema projectors will be slashed by 50 percent. Producers and the digital service producers will negotiate a reduction in VPF for D-Cinema projectors over the next six months. The producers had earlier demanded a complete abolition of the VPF, which the digital service providers had rejected.
