Bollywood To Shut Down On February 23

The Film Federation of India (FFI) has decided to go on a strike on February 23 to protest against Central Government’s proposal of imposing service tax nearly 10.3% which would increase the cost of film making.

According to FFI most members of the industry have decided to support the proposed strike as the budget of many films would be hit badly because of increase of service tax.

Recently filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt told tabloid Mumbai Mirror, “The government has been apathetic to the film industry. Add to this the service tax, which is certainly not welcome. We need to shut shop so that the government sits up and takes notice of this.”
