An appeal to the Government of India either to cancel the entire cut on the import of cinematographic raw film or to arrange to supply the same from the rupee area through the State Trading Corporation, in order to tide over the crisis which was now facing the film industry in the South, was made by Mr. B. Nagi Reddi, a member of the Madras Raw Film Committee and also of the Executive Committee of the South Indian Film Chamber of Commerce, speaking to pressmen at the Chamber premises on May 10. Mr. Nagi Reddi said that the film industry in the South had expanded to a large extent during the last three years and employed about 65,000 people, who depended on it for their living.
