Actor-producer Vishal has come down heavily on the Tamil Film Producers Council (TFPC) for temporarily suspending him.
Tamil Film Producers Council suspended him after the actor spoke to a Tamil weekly against the council.
However, Vishal has said to fight this. Speaking to the press he said, ‘I am surprised at the decision and not shocked. I am yet to receive the official letter in this regard.
He added, ‘I am surprised that a casual statement of mine about ‘bonda and bajji’ was taken so seriously and led to this situation. I have no personal grouse against any office-bearer of the producers council. I stand for the welfare of all producers and I raise voice for their well-being.
I will continue to ask questions and there’s nothing wrong in it. They wanted me to apologise for what I have said in that interview. Why should I?. ‘
‘If this can happen to a producer like me, imagine the plight of small producers (smiles). I will handle it legally but will not file defamation case on them. We have a team of youngsters from my side ready to face elections for producers council. I request them to allow elections to be conducted in free and fair manner,’ he said.
