The ongoing tussle between Telugu film producers and the Telugu Film Industry Employees Federation has now escalated into a legal battle.<\/p>\n
Producer T\u00a0G\u00a0Vishwa Prasad has served court notices to the Federation\u2019s president, general secretary, and treasurer, further intensifying the standoff.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur three office bearers have received court notices, and our legal team will handle the matter. This is the first time we\u2019ve been issued such notices,\u201d said Ammiraju, general secretary of the Federation.<\/p>\n
He claimed the notices allege daily losses of \u20b91.5 crore after Vishwa Prasad\u2019s films were halted mid-production due to the strike.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur members are upset that individuals are being targeted instead of the Federation. Talks with producers on our demands were already in progress,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Former general secretary Rajeshwar Reddy clarified that the legal action was from an individual, not the Telugu Film Chamber of Commerce.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis will not shake our determination. We have already given a strike notice to the Chamber and met with the coordination committee. While some issues have been resolved, our main demand;\u00a0a 30% wage hike for skilled and unskilled workers;\u00a0is still pending, which is why we halted work,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Chiranjeevi issued a statement denying reports that he had met Federation members and agreed to their demands.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have not met anyone from the Federation. This is an industry-wide matter, and no individual, including myself, can give assurances or arrive at a solution alone. The Film Chamber is the apex body, and it is their collective responsibility to negotiate with all sections and reach a fair resolution. I strongly condemn baseless statements aimed at creating confusion,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Earlier, the Telugu Film Chamber of Commerce had issued a strict advisory in response to the strike call. It instructed producers, studios, and allied sectors not to negotiate with striking unions without its approval and to maintain a united front.<\/p>\n
The Chamber also directed studios, outdoor units, and infrastructure providers to refrain from offering services without clearance, warning against any action that could weaken the industry\u2019s collective position.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The ongoing tussle between Telugu film producers and the Telugu Film Industry Employees Federation has now escalated into…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":70685,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[52],"tags":[4724,88,206,51000,51001,6615],"class_list":["post-70684","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-chiranjeevi","tag-entertainment","tag-movies","tag-telugu-cinema","tag-telugu-film-industry","tag-tollywood"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/70684","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=70684"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/70684\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/70685"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=70684"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=70684"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=70684"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
