The more than one-month-long film strike has been called off following the tripartite talks held between the Tamil Film Producers Council, the theatre owners and the digital service providers on Tuesday at the Secretariat.
Sources, who were a part of the talks that were initiated by the State government, said as part of the agreement reached, the Virtual Print Fee (VPF) for e-cinema projectors will be slashed by 50 per cent. Producers and the digital service producers will negotiate a reduction in VPF for D-Cinema projectors over the next six months.
The producers had earlier demanded a complete abolition of the VPF, which the digital service providers had rejected.
