Tamil cinema faced a challenging phase at the box office this year until 'Aranmanai 4' revitalized the industry. Meanwhile, filmmakers are struggling to finalize satellite and digital deals for smaller movies, which have traditionally been the main source of recovery for small-scale films.

In response to these financial struggles, the Tamil Film Producer Council (TFPC) has decided to halt initiating new films until movie production practices are regulated. According to reports, no new films will be launched until actors' salaries are reduced and issues related to directors' budgets and punctuality are addressed.

The TFPC emphasizes that this is not a strike or protest, but a necessary measure to stabilize the industry. It has been reported that already-announced movies and films currently in production can continue to be shot and released. An official announcement regarding this action is expected soon. This news has caused quite a stir in the film industry.
