TamilNadu Film Producer's Council (TFPC) has announced in an official statement that there will be no new movies releasing in Tamil Nadu from Septemebr 4th. They also added that even the running movies will be stopped completely from September 11th. The press statement reads as,
"Rohini theater's owner Mr. Panneerselvam, along with his group, has been working against the interests of Tamil cinema of late. Along with this group, he is putting up obstacles against the release of Paayum Puli on September 4 and is also demanding a big sum of money from the producers of the film, Vendhar Movies.
"Rohini theater's owner working against the interests of Tamil cinema.
To take a stand against this and to express our disapproval, we have decided that there would be no new releases of direct Tamil films and other language films from September 4. From September 11, even the already running films would be completely stopped across the state.
We kindly request the Tamil Nadu government to interfere and bring a proper closure to this issue and ensure that such problems and vested interests don't crop up again in future."
This news comes as a shock for movies like 'Paayum Puli', 'Yatchan' and others. Seems the movie has found a loop of trouble before getting a release.
