Shoot for all Tamil films will be brought to a halt from November 1, as decided by the Tamil Film Producers Council at a meeting in Chennai. The council also decided that no new films should be commenced after August 16. The decision was made due to an increase in backlog of movies that are stuck in various stages of filmmaking. They also plan on checking the rising cost of production due to artist remuneration and other expenses. 

A meeting was held in Chennai, which saw office bearers from the Tamil Film Producers’ Council, Tamil Film Producers’ Association, Tamil Nadu Theatre Owners Association, Tamil Nadu Theatre Multiplex Owners Association, and Tamil Nadu Film Distributors’ Association. Here are the resolutions that were passed during the meeting.
