Strike enters 2nd day, Rajini tells FEFSI-TFPC to find an amicable solution through talks

02 August, Chennai

Asserting that ‘strike’ was one of the words he did not like, Tamil Superstar Rajinikanth Wednesday appealed to the Film Employees Federation of South India (FEFSI) and the Tamil Film Producers Council (TFPC) to hold talks and soon arrive at an amicable solution.

Rajinikanth’s appeal comes in the wake of an indefinite strike launched by the members of FEFSI over wage row with the TFPC from yesterday.

The strike entered the second day today, affecting shooting of nearly 40 films, including the Rajinikanth starrer ‘Kaala’ in the city. In a statement here, Rajinikanth said ‘strike’ was one of the words which he dislike.

Stating that any issue could be sorted out through negotiations by keeping in mind the public interest, instead of self-respect, the actor said ”as a senior artist, I humbly request the FEFSI and the TFPC to hold talks and find an amicable solution soon”.
