VISION DOCUMENT FOR TELANGANA FILM DEVELOPMENT
We are now celebrating hundered years of Indian Cinema and seventy five years of Telugu Cinema. But unfortunately there are only few films made on the life style of Telangana. We do not want to go into the reasons for this exploitation and intentional sabotage of Telangana films and its culture. But, only would like to make few demands for the development of "TELANGANA CINEMA".
OUR DEMANDS
1. The title registration of films should be dealt only by the film development corporation/Government.
2. The film publicity clearance certificates should be granted/issued by the corporation only.
3. Exhibition films in theatres should be transparent, their rents and percentage of shares should be made known to public and allocation of theaters should be by the corporation with clear terms and conditions(like first cum first serve basis).
4. Every television channel should telecast atleast one Telangana Film in a day.
5. The music TV Channels should telecast 50% of Telangana film songs every day.
6. The FM radio channels including All India Radio should broadcaste / play equal percentage of film songs through their radios.
7. All the telugu entertainment channels including doordarshan should allocate 50% of the time for showing serials and programmes depicting the telangana life style, culture and literature.
8. Government should construct required buildings in the land taken back from Anand Cine Services and run film training institutes, studios, shooting floors and screening theaters etc., only for the development of Telangana Cinema.
9. The government should take back all vacant lands and buildings other wise being used though taken for the development of film industry and then government should run these institutions for the development of Telangana Cinema.
10. Cinemax K. Raghavendra Rao should be asked to establish film institute and recording studios for which they have taken land from the government.
11. The lands alloted through F.D.C./Government such as filmnagar and Chitrapuri colony should be regularised and culprits who voilated the rules should be punished in this regard. The government officers already submitted their enquiry reports.
12. All the establishments (buildings and lands) in filmnagar complex and F.N.C.C(Filmnagar culture centre) E.T.C should be taken back by telangana government and the existing officer's should be given some portions and a time of five years to establish their own in the A.P. state.
13. The government should establish a literature/story bank for the purpose of making films by collecting the popluar novels, stories and other literary works in Telangana.
14. Apart from doing this. the government also should provide lands, infrastructure and loans on subsidy basis to the private individuals who undertake the development of telangana cinema.
Apart from this, I request everyone to define the term "TELANGANA CINEMA" to avoid confusion and conflict. I also request the similar kind of demands for the development of television industry in the Telangana State to popularize the Telangana culture, lifestyle, literature which also provides the employment opportunity for several people which obviously earn big revenue for the Telangana Government.
I request you to study, understand, discuss and give your valuable suggestions for the development of film and television industry in the Telangana State.
Thanking You
Sincerely Yours.
C.V.L Narasimha Rao.
This appeal is being made to all the crafts in the film industry so that they can understand our struggle for the existence in the field of cinema.
APPEAL
We request all the big heads in the Telugu Film Industry to understand and accept that 2 states are formed. It is now dire need for the Telangana people to strive hard for projecting their culture, literature and lifestyle through medium of cinema.
Therefore, we request you to extend your support in this regard to the people of Telangana State. As you all know that it takes long time to achieve this goal. Therefore we request you to divide all the crafts and its establishment in to two, so that people of Telangana can start involving for their SELF RULE for their development. We know there will be some problems in this, but together with discussions we can resolve all these.
We therfore, request your good self to give your willingness at the earliest, so that we can start the process.
Thanking You
Sincerely Yours.
