SAFER CHAIRMAN
of
FILM CRAFTS FEDERATION

Not only this, they were taking the decision unilaterally without consulting the Producers, as hiking of the wages / remuneration as they wish unilaterally. The Producers were finding it very difficult to meet their demands and were discussing among them selves how to solve this problem which was challenging their existence more specially when the Returns at Box Office were dwindling.
