Tamil Nadu Theatre Owners Call off Strike

The three-day long theatre strike and appeals from stars like Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan seem to have paid off. Theatre owners and distributors in Tamil Nadu called off their strike against GST on Thursday. All cinema halls in the state would re-open tomorrow.

According to a report by Deccan Chronicle , the decision to call off the strike was taken after the state



government said they would form a committee to decide on municipal tax.

"We are withdrawing our strike. From tomorrow theatres will be open," Abhirami Ramanathan of Tamil Nadu Theatre Owners and Distributors Association told ANI.

He added, "A committee of Govt and our representatives formed to sort out the issue of tax, so we have decided to call off strike."
