Shiva Rajkumar and others from Kannada film industry meet CM Yediyurappa

A delegation of the Kannada film fraternity, headed by Shiva Rajkumar, met Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa and Deputy Chief Minister Dr Ashwathnarayan on Wednesday. They discussed the various relief measures and subsidies that the film industry is in dire need of following the coronavirus outbreak and the ensuing lockdown. The film industry is trying to get back on its feet with the government recently according to permission to recommence shooting after nearly six months.

Members of various film unions in Sandalwood, comprising producers, directors, technicians and stars like Yash and Duniya Vijay, were also present during the meeting. Both the CM and the Deputy CM patiently listened to their requests and have promised to do the needful, say sources. 

Prior to this meet, two meetings – one with Kannada stars and another with producers and technicians – took place at Shiva Rajkumar’s residence where the issues were discussed thoroughly.
