FWICE gives television a miss!
Shooting of three Balaji serials and Smriti Irani’s Virrudh was stopped by FWICE on August 15.
Stop work.
TV and film producers’ weren’t allowed to shoot on August 15 by the Federation of Western India Cine Workers (FWICE). Hence, shooting of three Balaji serials and Smriti Irani’s Virrudh was stopped by FWICE
After the FWICE passed an order that no worker would work on August 15, several producers sent letters, asking to be allowed to shoot.
But FWICE turned down their request.
Dinesh Chaturvedi, general secretary of the FWICE said, “We have not cleared any applications. Workers only get three compulsory holidays in a year. January 26, August 15 and May 1 and that also the producers want to take it away from them.”
But the vigilance department of the FWICE carried out a raid and stalled the shooting of at least six production companies. While most of the film production houses like Rakesh Roshan’s Filmkraft and Harry Baweja preferred to cancel the shooting of their films after permission was denied to them, some television companies violated the rule and continued to shoot till the raid was conducted and shooting stalled.
Informs Prem Singh Thakur, chairman of the vigilance department of the FWICE, “We raided and stopped the shooting of three Balaji Telefilms’ serials which included Kasamh Se, Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi and Kasthuri. We also stopped the shooting of Smriti Irani’s Virrudh.”
The vigilance department raided the sets of Maayka which was being shot at Madh Island. But the shooting of Zee TV’s Sa Re Ga Ma Pa that was going on at Famous Studio could not be stopped.
Says Thakur, “We had sent out notices to all producers but Zee TV challenged us that we would not be able to stop the shooting. In fact, a police team was guarding the set to stop us from entering the sets. While the police team was very cooperative and told us that we could call the concerned person from the set. However, Gyan Sahay, who is now the director of the programme and also a member of FWICE, did not cooperate with us.
He told us that they had to shoot an episode that had to be rushed to the channel urgently. But we have prepared a report against him and will be submitting it to the FWICE. In fact, Sahay told us not to write the report, but we will not tolerate our member’s non-cooperation.
Says Dinesh Chaturvedi, general secretary of FWICE, “We had held a medical camp for our members and found that most of them suffer from stress related disorders like hypertension and diabetes. We cannot afford to play with the lives of our workers.”
