Kamal Haasan, the leader of the Makkal Needhi Maiam (MNM) party, recently met with Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay to present a memorandum outlining six key demands aimed at revitalizing the Tamil film industry. Among these demands, Haasan emphasized the need for a state-owned OTT platform that would allow Tamil audiences to access cinema, independent films, and documentaries at affordable rates. He also called for the abolition of the 4% local body entertainment tax, which he believes would ease the financial burden on filmmakers. Furthermore, Haasan urged the formation of a dedicated anti-piracy team within the Tamil Nadu police cyber crime department to protect the industry from piracy, which he claims undermines the efforts of countless artists and technicians. To enhance theatre revenues, he proposed allowing cinemas to screen five shows per day and advocated for a mandatory eight-week OTT release window for films to ensure that theatre owners can sustain their businesses. Additionally, he suggested introducing a film production incentive scheme to restore Tamil Nadu's status as a leading film production hub, thereby generating employment and promoting tourism in the region.
