Tamil Film Producers Council election to be held on November 22

The long-delayed Tamil Film Producers Council election will take place on November 22. The High Court-appointed Election Officer M Jayachandran announced the date today. 

The final list of voters for the 2020-22 elections will be released on November 12. The TFPC election will take place at MGR Janaki College, Adayar on November 22 from 8 am to 4 pm.

The office period of the team headed by Vishal ended on April 30, 2019. His team had a series of clashes with the opposition comprising of producers T Siva, Sathya Jyoti Thyagarajan, AL Azhagappan, and others. The warring team had even locked and sealed the TFPC office last year, after which Vishal was arrested for breaking open the seal. 

Following such conflicts, the TN government decided to take over the management of TFPC and appointed a special officer to supervise the council until the election took place. Though several efforts were made to conduct the elections, none of them were successful. 

Meanwhile, it may be noted that Bharathiraja started a new organisation named Tamil Film Active Producers Association with several leading producers recently.
