Yesterday, Pawan Kalyan sparked a controversy with his hard-hitting speech in which he bombarded the government of Andhra Pradesh. He called an AP minister "Sannasi". Today, Telugu Film Chamber has issued an official statement following Pawan Kalyan's speech.
"The Telugu Film Industry had approached the Government of Andhra Pradesh to guide us through the Pandemic and various other issues.
Upon the invitation of the Honourable Minister of Andhra Pradesh, Sri Perni Nani, representatives of The Telugu Film Industry met and expressed their concerns about various issues being faced by Telugu Film Industry." The statement read.
TFCC added that "We are immensely grateful to the Government, under the leadership of Honourable Chief Minister, Sri Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy garu for patiently understanding and positively responding to all our concerns and assuring us that all our concerns will be favourably addressed in the near future."
"Due to the current situation in the Industry which has suffered the onslaught of the division of Our States, the Pandemic and other Issues, our Industry is at the worst possible situation. Various individuals have expressed their views, opinions and anguish on different platforms. These are not the voices of the Industry as a whole. We wish to reiterate that the Apex body of our Industry is the Telugu Film Chamber of Commerce in both the Telugu States. We have always been supported by our Governments over the years. Without their support we will not be able to survive." The statement went on to affirm.
"Thousands of people and their families who are dependent on this Industry have been suffering since March 2020. At this juncture we require the support of our Leaders & Governments to be large hearted and extend their continued support to us.
The Telugu States of Andhra Pradesh & Telangana are the two eyes of our Film Industry and both our Honourable Chief Ministers have been proactive and always extended their encouragement & support to us. Seeking their continued blessings & support." The TFCC concluded.
TFCC has evidently dissociated from Pawan Kalyan's speech and understandably so. The Council has implied that it is satisfied with the support of the governments of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.
