Popular producer, J. Satish Kumar is known for bankrolling several films such as Thanga Meengal, Idharkuthaane Aasapattai Balakumara to name a few. He will be also seen in Arun Vijay-Vijay Antony’s Agni Siragugal and Harbhajan Singh-Losliya's Friendship.
The producer had recently hit the headlines all for the right reasons when he brought up a few valid points in order to recover Kollywood from the after-effects of the ongoing Coronavirus lockdown.
Sathish had requested all the actors, actresses, directors, music directors and cinematographers to cut their salaries by 30 percent and also requested financiers to waive off entire interest amounts for three months, and theatre owners and distributors to prioritise the release of small films that will be releasing during the lockdown.
Post this, he has come up with new innovative way. Like the iconic serials are being re-telecasted now, the producer appeals to the TV Channels and OTT platforms, to consider buying rights of the unsold movies and digital rights and help the producers’ tide over this uncertain and stressful time.
