The Active Telugu Film Producers Guild (ATFPG) was speculated to take a decision to stall the film shootings from August 1st. Now it is official. The shootings are going to be withheld from the first day of next month.
The press note from ATFPG 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.’
The guild is mainly looking at the needed gap between the theatrical release and OTT streaming of a movie, the VPF (Virtual print fee), and of course the ticket prices. Also, there will be a decision on Film federation problems and fighters union issues in this regard.
