He said that the Telugu film Chamber of Commerce is the top body of the Telugu film industry, and only the Chamber will engage in discussions related to concerns and reach a solution.
“By such a time, it is unacceptable to unacceptable such false claims. I condemn all such baseless and inspired claims to create confusion among all stakeholders. Please note,” Chiranjeevi firmly claimed.
Earlier this month, the film Chamber issued a strict instruction, stating that the Telugu industry members of the film’s federation have demanded a 30 percent increment.
“We are already paying much more than the existing minimum wages as per the Act for both skilled and unskilled workers. It will cause huge damage to films in disruption production. The Chamber condemns this action taken by the Federation as we have worked together with our members for decades,” reads the instructions.
Receiving that the Chamber is interacting with the officials concerned to secure a permanent solution, he asked the producers to strictly avoid different arrangements with unions until independent action or resolution.
