Film Chamber calls for a meeting to end the crisis.

The Karnataka Film Chamber of Commerce has started some initiatives to put an end to the present crisis where in a large section of film producers have decided to boycott film production activities for a year.

A meeting of film producers, exhibitors, directors, artists and cine technicians and workers has been called on Thursday evening to sort out the problems facing the Kannada film industry.

H.D.Gangaraj, President of the Karnataka Film Chamber of Commerce said that the producers have taken this decision on their own without bringing it to the notice of the film chamber.

"The film chamber has forums to resolve these types of conflicts. But the recent crisis has emanated because some decisions have been taken by film producers without any consultations with the chamber. However, we are now seriously interested to resolve this problem. I have established contact with actor and Member of Parliament Ambareesh and other senior producers and have requested them to sit across and find a negotiated settlement of this problem. A meeting has been called by the film chamber on Thursday (5th October) and I am sure something positive will emerge" said Gangaraj.
