Newly re-elected TFCC chief Suniel Narang steps down
Veteran film producer
Suniel Narang
on Sunday resigned as president of the Telangana Film Chamber of Commerce (TFCC), only a day after being elected to a third consecutive term. Speaking to Hyderabad Times, he said he quit because he felt 'hurt and disrespected'
by public remarks linking him to issues he 'had no involvement in.'
'My secretary said something and it was upsetting, especially since I wasn't responsible for the issues being discussed. I don't want to take names, but it was all too overwhelming at that moment. I felt stepping down was the best course of action. My decision may have seemed sudden, but it came from a place of feeling hurt and disrespected,' he said.
Background
At a TFCC press meet on Saturday, secretary V L Sreedhar criticised a proposed theatre bandh by some exhibitors and distributors that had been planned from June 1 but was later withdrawn. Sreedhar claimed, 'The bandh was driven by two producers and two directors.' Commenting on the postponement of Hari Hara Veera Mallu, he added, 'Due to the sudden postponement, lots of theatres that had already been blocked for the film's release are now lying empty.
