Karnataka Film Industry on strike from December 1st 2010

The Karnataka Film Chamber of Commerce, along with other industry bodies like the Karnataka Film Producers' Association and Karnataka Film Directors' and Writers' Association, have decided to go on indefinite strike from December 1st 2010.

Even the production activities of all the Kannada films will be stopped. Only the release of already completed Kannada films will be allowed. This measure is in protest against the problems created by non-Kannada films for the local film industry and the telecast of dubbed films in private television channels.
