In Kerala, Tamil films attract a huge fan
base and have been quite high on the collection
front too. The recently released Vijay starrer
'Pokkiri' has crossed the hundred day mark
and other Tamil films are also doing good
business there. This seemed to have made a
dent in the collection of Malayalam films.

Hence film actors, producers, technical members from the
Malayalam film industry have approached the Minister for
cultural affairs Mr. M.A.Baby and have put forth their
demands.
According to these pleas, the Mollywood fraternity wants
the entertainment taxes to be reduced for Malayalam films
and increased for Tamil, Hindi and English films. They
have also requested the minister to reduce the tariff
for shooting at public places. The minister had listened
to their pleas and assured them that he will do the needful.
This will be the second similar situation as in the previous
year Telugu faced the same problem as dubbed films like
Chandramukhi, Anniyan, Gajini, Sandakozhi and Thimiru
were major money spinners.
