Earlier, it was announced that actors and technicians in the Malayalam film industry will be taking pay cuts to tide over the current crisis, as promulgated by the producers.
However, the film body AMMA seems to have an objection. “We are all aware of the crisis and are willing to cooperate. But the decision to enforce pay cuts cannot be one-sided. What is needed is a meeting of all associations to discuss the way forward,” Edavela Babu, general secretary, AMMA was quoted as saying.
“With the number of COVID-19 cases increasing, members of the association may not be able to travel for the meeting. Besides, there is no hurry to arrive at a decision since there is no clarity on the situation in which we might be able to begin shooting,” he further said.
We wonder what turn this controversy is going to take next!
