Recently, Vijay appointed Rajmohan as the Minister for Film Technology and Cinematograph Act. The decision has drawn some criticism from the film industry. Take actor Vishal, for instance.
He took to social media and wrote, "Happy to see CM Joseph Vijay allocating ministries to respective elected MLAs but it's disheartening to see honorable minister Rajmohan to be in charge as minister of Film Technology and Cinematograph Act." The actor wondered whether Rajmohan is experienced enough to be in the position and whether he has enough knowledge of what is going on in Tamil cinema at a grassroot level. He also suggested that nobody except for the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu is fit enough for the position, because of the latter's decades-long experience of working in the industry.
The actor also requested the CM to:
1. "Introduce government ticketing window, which will bring revenue to government as well as relief to viewers who pay 30 Rs per ticket."
2. "Abolish local body tax as we are the only state in India to induce 2 taxes against the "one India one tax" rule."
3. "Increase subsidy for small films every year from the current meager amount given."
Vishal suggested that these demands have been made to the Tamil Nadu government for the past nine years. He signed off, saying, "Not demeaning Mr. Rajmohan, but it's just my opinion. CM can give us the much needed relief."
Meanwhile, Arun Vijay supported the CM and requested the industry to provide him with enough time to act for its betterment. "Win your trust with people, get elected and do as you wish.. kindly do not intervene with decisions.. Being a fraternity from the industry, I'm sure he knows our problems and surely will help us out.. kindly let his decisions be respected and wait for an outcome.. Let's not come to any conclusions.. hope for the best," Arun Vijay wrote.
