POPULAR PRODUCER-CUM-ACTOR ASKS STARS TO TAKE PAY CUTS, HAS OTHER REQUESTS TO BEAT LOSSES!

In this regard, popular actor-cum-producer J Sathish Kumar has put forth a few suggestions:

• Actors and technicians to cut their salaries by 30 per cent.
• Film financiers look at waiving interest for the next three to four months.
• Requesting cooperation from theatres to re-release films affected by the lockdown.
• Requesting theatre owners, other unions, big film producers to give preference to smaller film releases as a priority, as these producers will be facing a higher risk of loss, once the situation returns to normal.

It would be interesting to see how the shareholders in the industry react to the above suggestions.
