BANGALORE: The Indian film industry and the Kannada
filmdom have agreed to a ceasefire it seems. In a move to give the
newly elected KFCC (Karnataka Film Chambers of Commerce) office bearers
time to settle the seven-week moratorium issue, the Indian film industry
has decided to delay the embargos it was considering against the Kannada
film industry.
The Hubli headquartered Karnataka Film Exhibitors Federation (KFEF)
has refused to accept the seven-week moratorium. The spokesperson
reportedly said that non-Kannada films in North Karnataka would
have a simultaneous release as elsewhere.
Meanwhile, media reports talk of a formula attributed
to actor-politician-mediator Ambarish wherein the moratorium would
be reduced to five weeks with a five print limit.
