Tamil Film Industry Protest Against Service Tax - Monday Jan 07,2013


Stars from the Tamil film industry have gone on a hunger strike against being asked to pay additional service tax. All the movie theatres in the state will reportedly remain shut till evening today.Film and television shooting will not take place on the day and theatres will remain shut between 8 am and 5pm.


Besides Rajinikanth, other leading lights of Tamil movie industry  on hunger-strike are - Vijay, Prabhu, Satyaraj, Bhagyaraj, Sarathkumar, Radhikaa Sarathkumar, director K.S. Ravikumar



The tax of 12.36 %, they argue, should not apply because the service tax on the entertainment industry was partly lifted a few years ago exempting producers, exhibitors and distributors
