In a contentious move, film producers in Tamil Nadu have decided to ban journalists who write 'unnecessarily harsh' reviews of Tamil films, or criticise actors, directors, producers or other industry professionals. The decision was taken by the Tamil Film Producers’ Council Consulting Union and South Indian Film Media PRO Union on Monday. This comes on the back of several producers and filmmakers making bitter comments against reviewers, and is widely seen as a juvenile move by the organisations involved.
In a joint circular, the two unions said they were taking measures to cut down “unmanageable costs” incurred by production houses while organising press meets for their films. The move to sideline reviewers and critics was slipped in however, along with a threat that legal action would be taken against critics and reviewers who are "too harsh" on a film.
