The
October
11
meeting
called
by
the
Karnataka
Film
Chamber
of
Commerce
to
hammer
out
a
solution
to
the
present
crisis
in
the
Kannada
film
industry
may
not
take
place
as
scheduled.
The
Kannada
film
producers
association
said
that
they
would
not
be
attending
the
meeting
as
has
been
promised
by
them.
The
KPA
had
boycotted
the
earlier
meeting
called
in
by
the
film
chamber
on
October
5
also.
According
to
H.D.
Gangaraj,
President
of
the
KFCC
said
that
a
letter
written
by
the
Kannada
film
producers
association
was
received
on
Tuesday
morning
in
which
they
had
communicated
their
unwillingness
to
attend
the
meeting.
Gangaraj
said
that
he
contacted
Sandesh
Nagaraj,
President
of
the
KPA
immediately,
but
he
had
said
that
a
decision
has
been
taken
by
his
organization
not
to
attend
the
meeting.
Some
producers
requesting
anonymity
however
said
that
they
are
unwilling
to
talk
to
the
present
executive
committee
members
whose
term
is
expiring
on
October
27.
The
KFCC
elections
are
to
be
held
on
October
28
and
in
all
probability
an
exhibitor
will
be
taking
over
as
the
new
President.
Mr.
K.V.
Chandrashekhar
of
the
Veeresha
theatre
who
is
known
to
be
sympathetic
to
the
film
producer
is
the
front
runner
among
the
probable
winners
for
the
President's
post.
The
producers
who
had
a
late
night
meeting
on
Tuesday
have
decided
to
hold
their
decision
of
not
allowing
permission
to
start
new
films
for
another
month
will
only
talk
to
the
new
executive
committee
of
the
KFCC,
it
is
learnt.
Some
producers
including
Sandesh
Nagaraj
had
met
Rebel
Star
Ambareesh
separately
who
had
advised
them
to
have
talks
with
a
group
of
stars.
Ambareesh
and
Vishnuvardhan
had
authorized
Upendra
and
Sudeep
to
discuss
the
matter
with
the
producers
separately
in
a
five
star
hotel.
It
is
believed
both
Upendra
and
Sudeep
agreed
to
take
up
their
grievances
with
other
stars
and
expressed
their
willingness
to
co-operate
with
the
producers.
Ambareesh
is
believed
to
have
suggested
that
the
producers
should
also
speak
to
the
cine
workers
association
leaders
separately
to
focus
on
their
problems
and
explain
their
position
with
a
view
to
get
their
co-operation.
The
producers
have
struck
to
their
decision
not
to
start
production
activities
of
new
films
for
at
least
one
month.
