Bharathiraja starts a new Tamil Film Producers Council 

Director-producer Bharathiraja has announced that he will be starting a new producers' council named Tamil Thiraipada Nadappu Thayaripaalar Sangam.

In his press release announcing the launch of the new organisation, Bharathiraja wrote, "A new council is the need of the hour. It has been years since we even functioned. It is crucial to find the answers to pressing issues like the state of the films that are yet to be released and the uncertain challenges of the future." Clarifying that his intention is not to break up the parent organisation, he added, "Please do not think that we are dividing and conquering. We are eager to work towards positive changes. It is high time we act. Contemplating our next move forever isn't going to help us."

Bharathiraja also mentioned that the new producers' council will be launched officially soon. "An announcement about the members of the council will be made soon. We are in the process of recruiting members."
