For the past few days news has been circulating among media circles that Tollywood will remain shut from August 1st. Getting into details, the active producers guild council has taken the decision to discuss various aspects such as increased cost of making and post-pandemic circumstances.
The official statement says,” Post-pandemic with the changing revenue situations and increasing costs, it has become important for producers to discuss all the issues we are facing as a community of filmmakers. It is our responsibility to better our ecosystem and ensure that we are releasing our films in a healthy environment. In this regard, all producer members of the guild have voluntarily decided to withhold shootings from August 1st 2022 to sit in discussions until we find workable resolutions”.
Will the activities of the producer guild members yield fruitful results? How many days will the shootings stall? To know the answer to the questions, we have to wait and see for a few more days.
