Bengali Film Industry Resumes Production After Week-Long Boycott


Shoots have resumed in Tollywood, the Bengali-language film industry, after boycotts were called over an filming dispute.

On July 23, the Federation of Cine Technicians and Workers of Eastern India(FCTWEI) had banned Mukherjee from making films for three months for violating rules for shooting overseas in Bangladesh. In a bid to show solidarity with Mukherjee, members from the Directors Association of Eastern India announced that they would cease work from July 29, bringing the Bengali film industry to a halt. A review committee of the incident was also announced, chaired by Ghose, with Chatterjee, Dev, Sen and Aroop Biswas as initial members and representation from all guilds.
