Recently, the Tamil Film Producers’ Council and Distributors’ Council issued a ban on providing film and song clips of upcoming films to the satellite channels. The logic was that the producers and theatre owners would lose because the audience would not come to the theaters to watch the whole film. However, members were aghast at watching the clips of two new films, Dishyum and Chithiram Paesuthadi, both produced by Oscar Ravichandran. He explained that he had given the clips to Sun TV before the ban came into effect. Therefore, he is not in a mood to give any further explanations. But the councils have issued a red card against him restraining him from producing films until a satisfactory explanation is given by him. What is the impact of the ban?
