The South Indian film
industry has raised its voice against the
IIFA being held in Sri Lanka following the
killings of the Sri Lankan Tamils last year
to weed out the LTTE. There has been several
protests and appeals to the North Indian film
fraternity to boycott the IIFA this year.
A press note on behalf of the south Indian
film industry stated that they were against
the IIFA being held in Sri Lanka and was not
against the IIFA itself.
A meeting was convened on May 28th, 2010 at
the South Indian Film Chamber of Commerce,
to appeal to their north Indian counterparts
not to participate in the event. A resolution
was passed wherein the film fraternity has
expressed that it would neither co-operate
with the Sri Lankan film industry nor conduct
any film shooting there.
