The good news that came in for Tamil cinema yesterday (April 17) was that the one and a half month long strike has been called off and that film work, as well as releases, could happen from this Friday.
Recently, there were a lot of protests for the sake of establishment of the Cauvery management board and the IPL games were shifted out of Chennai due to these protests.
The latest statement has come in from actor Udhayanidhi Stalin who has questioned whether Tamil film releases would also be kept away from Chennai for the sake of Cauvery management board’s establishment. His Twitter post read, “ஐபில் #IPL போட்டிகள் போல் தமிழ்நாட்டில் தமிழ் திரைப்படங்கள் வெளியீடுகளும் காவிரி மேலாண்மை வாரியம் அமைக்கப்படும் வரை ஒத்திவைக்கப்படுமா.. ? செயல்படாத மத்திய மாநில அரசுகளின் கவனத்தை இன்னும் அதிகமாக ஈர்க்க உதவுமே..”.
Roughly translated as, “As like how IPL games were changed, will all Tamil films also be postponed, until the Cauvery Management Board is formed? This will help garner more attention, from the non functioning State and Central governments”.
