Pune: FTII students on Sunday called off their hunger strike after the information and broadcasting (I&B) ministry agreed to have a dialogue with them on September 29 in Mumbai. They hope to find "solutions".

The development came on the 108th day of the strike, on which the students embarked in response to the government's decision to appoint actor and BJP member Gajendra Chauhan as the Film and Television Institute of India (FTII) chairman.
