Only three films a week… top actors to wait for festive season

In a press release, the Producers’ Council President Rama Narayanan had said that big budget films with popular actors and actresses and directed by ace directors should be released only during Pongal, Deepavali, Independence Day, Republic Day and the Tamil New Year’s Day. And not more than two Tamil films and one dubbing film will be allowed to hit the screens every week.

According to Rama Narayanan, this is to regulate the number of films that comes out every week and the inadequacy of theatres. With the ratio being disproportionate, the producers are finding it difficult to break even or garner profits as the theatre owners are in a hurry to push the earlier release behind to accommodate a new one.
