Tamil Film Producers Council Makes 8 Weeks Theatrical Window Mandatory For Star Heroes Films

Chennai, July 30 - The Tamil Film Producers Council has made some sensational decisions regarding the functioning of Tamil films and actors. As per reports, TFPC has decided to hold the shootings of the new Tamil movies after August 15. ## It is learned that many producers have complained about actors' negligence towards completing the films despite taking advance payment. TFPC has taken a decision that only after the actors and technicians finish the pending films, will they be allowed to act in the newly signed movies. ## One of the most important topics which were discussed by the council was the issue of films being streamed on OTT platforms early. Over the past few years, Tamil films, including star heroes movies, have been made to stream online within 4 weeks which has reduced footfalls in theatres, causing huge losses to exhibitors and distributors.## The producers' council has decided that going forward, the digital release of all-star heroes films will only be after 8 weeks of the theatrical run. This move is expected to bring massive relief to theatres as it will help bring more audiences to theatres which will boost the box office prospects of the movies significantly.## Stay tuned...
