Cinema theatres of south India protest will stop screening films

Hyderabad, March 02: All cinema theatres in the five south Indian states will stop screening films indefinitely from Friday to demand reduction of Virtual Print Fee (VPF).

The shutdown will continue till the Digital Service Providers (DSPs) reduce VPF for regional language films, announced the South Indian Film Producers Council here on Thursday.

Council convenor and well-known producer and distributor D. Suresh Babu told reporters that the producers of Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Kerala have joined hands over the issue.

He announced that there will be no screening of movies in all the theatres till DSPs bring down the VPF and eventually withdraw it as they have done for English movies.
