Protests and confusion mark the TFPC meet

The annual general body meeting of the Tamil Film Producers Council (TFPC) which was held yesterday, the 10th December in Chennai was marked by confusion and chaos after a section of members protested against its functioning and alleged corruption.

This is the first meeting after actor and producer Vishal was elected as the President of the council. Former High Court judge R.S. Ramanathan had been appointed to be an observer at the meeting.

A section of members, led by actor and producer Cheran alleged discrepancies in the accounts of the council to the tune of 7 crore. Responding to the allegations Vishal said that people who had an ulterior motive against him had resorted to creating chaos on stage and diverting attention from crucial issues. He asked, “People keep alleging that there is corruption but why have they haven't visited the council’s office and presented any evidence of the same?”
