Film Employees Federation of South India (FEFSI) recently released a statement and requested celebrities to come forward to support the daily wage workers of the union who are currently jobless due to the virus outbreak.  

FEFSI Union President RK Selvamani in the statement said: “As we are aware, the Tamil film world has been crippled by the Coronavirus that is currently threatening the entire world. In the 50 years since the inception of the union, the film industry has faced various strikes; protests were held against the producers demanding pay rises and demands from the government. But nothing of this scale, the ongoing lock-down is very different.”
