Director Seeman’s
Naam Thamizhar Iyakkam has been holding several
demonstrations against the artistes and technicians
participating in the IIFA, to be held in Sri
Lanka from June 4 to 6. In a press statement,
the Iyakkam has said that actors like Rajinikanth,
Kamal Haasan, Amitabh Bachchan, Mani Ratnam,
Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai have made
it clear that they would not be a part of
the IIFA. He also thanked the South Indian
film industry for passing a resolution to
extend non-co-cooperation to the Sri Lankan
government.
According to Seeman, not one participant
from India should be a part of the IIFA
this year. To ensure that this happens,
he plans to intensify the stir.
It may be noted that several south Indian
actors like Mammootty, Mohanlal, Punith
Rajkumar, Venkatesh, Nagarjuna and others
are also not likely to participate in the
IIFA following the request of their Tamil
counterparts.
