Film shootings come to halt in Hyderabad due to workers strike
Last Updated: Hyderabad, Aug 5 (PTI) Most of the film shootings in Hyderabad came to a halt with workers demanding a 30 per cent wage hike. The representatives of the workers on Tuesday met labour department officials regarding their demands. Alexander, a leader of the workers, told PTI Videos that the hike is not 30 per cent at once, but 10 per cent annually, which is due this year. However, the hike has not been effected since the last four months, he alleged. Damodar Prasad, Secretary of Telugu Film Chamber, told PTI that the workers 'unilaterally" decided two days ago to work only for producers, who pay them the increased wages though talks are on going with the involvement of the labour department. He observed that the Telugu film industry already pays higher wages to union workers than other state film industries. The stance of the producers is that talks would continue if the workers 'unconditionally" resume work, he said. Efforts were on to end the stalemate, he said, expressing confidence that the issue would be resolved soon. Producer C Kalyan told reporters that several film producers met superstar Chiranjeevi, who suggested that the issue be resolved harmoniously in another two-three days.

Mrunal Thakur opens up about her strong belief in evil eye amid dating rumours with Dhanush: 'Bohot nazar lagti hai'
Fresh off the success of Son of Sardaar 2 alongside Ajay Devgn, Mrunal Thakur is in a celebratory mood, but she's keeping her cards close to her chest. In a recent interview, the actress revealed she's manifesting big things for her career, but avoids speaking about them aloud, thanks to her strong belief in the concept of 'nazar' (evil eye). 'There are a lot of things I still need to do with my career, a lot of boxes I haven't checked,' she shared with Instant Bollywood, but admitted she won't discuss them openly. Mrunal believes that revealing too much too soon can bring bad luck. 'I will talk about those things once I actually do them, because I don't want to jinx it... bohot nazar lagti hai,' she added. 'You should control how much you tell the world' Mrunal went on to explain that she maintains strong personal boundaries, especially when it comes to navigating fame and fan expectations. Rather than announce her upcoming projects or constantly share updates, she prefers to stay silent until things are finalised. 'One should think before speaking about oneself,' she noted, adding that it's important to control how much of your life is public. She observed how people, in the excitement of talking about their plans, end up jinxing them. 'I have a very different personality in that sense,' she said.
