Hyderabad:The Tamil Film Producers Council (TFPC) issued a notice on Monday, urging Tamil film associations to halt all film productions from November 1. This move was made to facilitate a clearer understanding of budgetary constraints and fundamental expenses associated with film production. In addition to this decision, the TFPC chose to impose a ban on actor Dhanush due to his failure to start a film project, despite having received advance payments from several producers.
In response to this ban, the Nadigar Sangam, an actors' association, voiced its disapproval of the TFPC's actions regarding Dhanush. Prominent members of the Nadigar Sangam, including Karthi, Karunas, and Poochi Murugan, spoke to the media on behalf of the association. They voiced their discontent, highlighting that the TFPC had not consulted Nadigar Sangam or its members before arriving at this sudden decision.
Actor Karthi emphasised the existing collaborative relationship between the Tamil Film Producers' Council and the Tamil Film Producers Association. He told the media, "Typically, the TFPC and Nadigar Sangam reach a mutual agreement when raising a complaint against an actor or producer. However, no complaint was raised with us regarding Dhanush. The sudden decision to ban him is completely unacceptable. We strongly oppose TFPC’s statement. All Tamil film associations should meet to come to a mutual agreement."
