Calcutta High Court upholds artistes' right to work in Tollywood
In a significant ruling, Justice
Amrita Sinha
of the
Calcutta High Court
on Monday issued a stern directive stating that no one can obstruct artistes from working in the Tollywood film industry. This comes after actors like
Parambrata Chattopadhyay
and
Anirban Bhattacharya
alleged that they were being prevented from working. The conflict between film directors and the Federation of Cine Technicians & Workers of Eastern India has long plagued Tollywood, often resulting in production halts. The matter escalated to the point of judicial intervention. During the hearing, Justice Sinha said, 'No one can interfere with someone's livelihood. If issues arise, local police must be approached. The state cannot remain a mute spectator.' Advocate Abhratosh Majumdar informed the court that despite previous directives, obstruction continues, with shooting being halted and artists sidelined. The court was urged to issue a ruling restraining the Federation from interfering in work-related matters, highlighting deep-rooted issues within the film industry.
