Chennai, February 6th
The entire Tamil film industry would go on a day-long strike on the 23rd of this month to protest against the entertainment tax levied by the central government which eats into their income .While the film industry welcomes sops and concessions , it appears very unwilling in parting away with a part of their income for the sake of implementing the various welfare measures planned by the government .
In order to drive home the message, it has been decided to hold a1-day nationwide strike. The strike has now been scheduled to be held on the 23rd of this month. The Indian Film Federation has asked all its affiliated bodies to take part in the strike. As such, Kollywood would be striking work on 23rd February according to S.A. Chandrasekaran, president of the Tamil Film Producers’ Council.
