The South Indian Film Chamber of Commerce (SIFCC) on Wednesday (June 2) said that it will go ahead with the boycott of Bollywood actors who are participating in the IIFA weekend which begins in Colombo from tomorrow. General Secretary of the Chamber L Suresh said that the decision has been taken keeping in mind the local sentiments. "As per the decision, films featuring the personalities who participated in the IIFA will be not be screened in South India," he said. Suresh, alongwith the President of the Chamber C Kalyan and G Siva, who is the General Secretary of the Film Employees Federation of South India, was in Mumbai three days ago to persuade their counterparts in the city against visiting Sri Lanka for the IIFA weekend.
The trio met President of the Film and Television Producers Guild Manmohan Shetty, filmmakers Ramesh Sippy, Yash Chopra and J P Dutta, financer Ratan Jain, officials of the organisers Wizcraft and other members of the Mumbai film industry who are on the IIFA Advisory board. Suresh said the Bollywood bigwigs said they had full sympathy to the condition of Sri Lankan tamils but expressed their inability to shift the venue because "it was too late." "They told us that they were bound by contractual obligations," Suresh said. TIMES NOW's Editor-in-Chief Arnab Goswami debates the issue with Bhavna Somaya, Author and Senior Film Journalist; L Suresh Kumar, Secretary, South Indian Films Chamber of Commerce; Sabbas Joseph, Director, Wizcraft International and Vivek Oberoi, Actor.
