Karnataka Film industry has taken an undemocratic decision of not allowing simultaneous release of non-Kannada films in Karnataka. All new films of other languages should release only after 7 weeks. With pirated VCD being circulated all over Karnataka, the film lovers would be viewing the films even before the release in Karnataka due to rampant piracy.
All non-Kannada film industries joined together to form a Joint Action Committee with G Adiseshagiri Rao as the convener. Hindi film industry's bigwigs like Yash Chopra and Manmohan Shetty attended along with Tamil and Telugu producers today to let the press know the decision they have taken.
The Joint Action Committee has taken decision to extend non-cooperation to Kannada film industry through various channels like
1. No Kannada actor or technician would be allowed to work in Non-Kannada films.
2. No Non-Kannada actor or technician would be allowed to work in Kannada films.
3. Not allowing shooting of Kannada films outside Karnataka within India.
4. Not allowing Kannada dubbed/remake films in other languages
5. Not allowing Kannda to dub or remake other language films.
6. All other amenities enjoyed by all film industries through central bodies.
Veteran Bollywood filmmaker Yash Chopra described the attitude of Karnataka film industry as dictatorial and undemocratic, which is against the spirit of making films. He had been trying to meet the concerned bodies in Karnataka to discuss about the same, but in vein.
Filmmaker Manmohan Shetty said that Karnataka film industry should live and let others live than isolating itself with moratorium on non-Kannada films. An embargo on services provided to Karnataka might straighten the things. He also said that there are 4 multi-screen multiplexes are coming up in Bangalore and they are going to suffer huge losses. PVR group has constructed an 11-screen multiplex and it is waiting for the moratorium to end so that the business would take place. There should not be monopoly in a globalized city like Bangalore.
G Adiseshgiri Rao and D Suresh Babu also spoke on this occasion. The estimated loss per non-Kannada film due to moratorium is as follows
Hindi film (big star cast): 2-3 crores
Telugu Film (big star cast): 1-2 crores
Tamil Film (big star cast): 50 lakhs
D Suresh Babu said that they have been taking on these steps so that Karnataka film industry would come for negotiations on the ground rule that there would simultaneous release of other languages films with certain strings attached.
A producer under anonymity said that Kannada thespian Raj Kumar is playing with the sentiments of Kannada people by forcing moratorium. The Kannada people want films of other languages, but there is a group of selfish people with vested interest are responsible for moratorium.
