Actor
Kamal
Hassan
has
voiced
his
concerns
for
the
entertainment
industry
in
India,
saying
that
it
is
high
time
that
the
government
of
the
country
sit
up
and
take
notice
of
the
taxes
and
the
laws
governing
the
film
and
television
sector
in
India.
Speaking
about
the
market
and
the
financial
conditions
in
which
the
producers
of
Indian
films
have
to
work,
Kamal
says
that
it
will
be
a
good
decision
on
the
part
of
the
government,
if
they
let
exhibitors
of
different
films
made
in
India
decide
the
prices
of
the
tickets
that
the
viewer
has
to
purchase
while
watching
the
film
in
the
theater.
But
will
such
a
step
taken
by
the
government
help
to
solve
the
problem,
which
several
producers
and
directors
are
currently
facing
in
India?
Kamal
says
that
he
knows
about
the
fact
that
producers
and
directors
often
complain
about
the
whopping
fees
that
the
actors
charge
for
performing
in
one
film.
But
it
is
also
to
be
kept
in
mind
that
an
actor
is
paid
only
that
much
which
his
films
can
draw
back
to
the
producer"s
coffers.
Moreover,
an
actor
has
no
post
retirement
benefits
and
actors
will
not
be
assured
any
pension
if
he
stops
acting.
However,
Kamal
Hassan
is
awaiting
the
release
of
his
upcoming
Tamil
movie
Manmadhan
Ambu,
which
is
all
set
to
release
on
December
17.
