ఎంతో జటిలమైన ఇండస్ట్రీ సమస్యను చాలా సామరస్యపూర్వకంగా, ఇటు నిర్మాతలకు, అటు కార్మికులకు సమన్యాయం జరిగే విధంగా పరిష్కరించిన తెలంగాణ ముఖ్యమంత్రి శ్రీ రేవంత్ రెడ్డి గారికి మనస్ఫూర్తిగా కృతజ్ఞతలు తెలియజేసుకొంటున్నాను.

The senior Telugu actor said that the measures taken by the Chief Minister for developing the Telugu film industry were commendable. He also said that the efforts the Chief Minister was taking to realise his vision of transforming Hyderabad into not just a national but a global hub for the film industry were truly praiseworthy.
The actor expressed the hope that the Telugu film industry would continue to move forward in this united fashion, and that the government would continue to offer support in every possible way.
Why did workers go on strike in the Telugu industry?
It may be recalled that the Telugu Film Industry Employees’ Federation called for a strike from August 4 after its demand for a 30 per cent hike in wages for film workers in the Telugu film industry was turned down by the Telugu Film Chamber of Commerce.
The strike call resulted in shootings and other film-related activities coming to a grinding halt. With both sides sticking to their guns, no resolution seemed to be in sight. Eventually, both parties came to the negotiating table and a solution was arrived at on Thursday, resulting in the strike being called off. The decision to call off the strike was made at a joint press conference by representatives of both the Telugu Film Chamber of Commerce and the Telugu Film Industry Employees' Federations in the presence of the Telangana State Film Development Corporation (TFDC) chairman Dil Raju and Additional Labour Commissioner Gangadhar Eslavath.
On the work front from Chiranjeevi, he will next be seen in Vishwambhara. The film is a socio-fantasy helmed by Vassishta.
