The Karnataka Film Chamber of commerce has deferred stopping of releases via UFO and Qube from next week – 9th March instead of 2nd March (Today). That is because four films made preparations for release and the concerned producers should not suffer is the concern.

The remaining states – Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Telengana, Andhra Pradesh, Puducheri are firm on no release via UFO and Qube from 2nd March.

At an emergency meeting on Thursday evening KFCC President Sa Ra Govindu has advised Kannada producers not to release any new film from 9th March 2018. The KFCC is making alternative arrangements he says for a question on the measures taken.

The South Indian Film Chamber of Commerce has sought 25 percent cut in the existing tariff charged by UFO and Qube. The 9 percent cut offered by UFO and Qube management is not sufficient says SIFCC.
