Finally
the
tiff
between
the
Karnataka
Film
Chamber
of
Commerce
(KFCC)
and
FM
station
Big
FM
92.7
has
ended
after
the
KFCC
called
of
its
Bandh
(Strike)
on
Sunday.
Earlier,
the
KFCC
had
planned
to
hold
a
protest
against
the
Big
FM
92.7
on
August
02.
But
KFCC
President
Basanth
Kumar
Patil
has
now
withdrawn
Bundh
on
Sunday
afternoon
after
the
bosses
of
Big
FM
apologised
and
agreed
to
stop
the
Channel
for
a
day.
On
July
16,
the
Big
FM
had
aired
a
programme
which
was
said
to
have
damaged
the
image
of
the
Kannada
Film
Industry.
So
the
members
of
the
KFCC
and
other
film
personalities
had
held
a
protest
in
front
of
the
Big
FM
office
on
Wednesday
on
27th
July
and
urged
the
radio
station
to
stop
for
one
month.
Instead
of
seeking
apology,
the
bosses
of
the
radio
station
had
come
forward
to
compensate
the
damage
with
money.
Irked
by
this,
the
KFCC
held
a
prolonged
meeting
at
the
chamber
on
Friday
and
took
the
decision
of
Bandh
call.
MS
Ramesh,
the
president
of
the
Kannada
Film
Directors'
Association
(Kanfida),
Actor
Ashok,
the
chief
of
Cine
Workers'
Organisation
(CWO)
and
JG
Krishna,
President
of
the
Karnataka
Cinematographers'
Association
(KCA)
and
Mr.
Ambareesh
supported
it.
The
technicians,
artists
and
other
workers
of
Sandalwood
had
decided
to
stop
all
the
film
production
activities
on
August
02.
However,
Sandalwood
businessman
Prashant
Sambaragi,
who
was
appointed
by
Big
FM,
mediated
and
held
a
late
night
meeting
between
the
KFCC
and
the
radio
station
at
the
KFCC
on
Saturday.
Later
the
Big
FM
has
apologized
to
the
KFCC
at
a
press
meet
held
at
12
noon
on
Sunday.
It
also
agreed
to
stop
the
Channel
for
1
day
completely
and
will
also
apologise
for
15
days
in
the
Radio.
It
also
promised
to
extend
its
support
to
Kannada
film
industry.
