Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay has released Rs 15.68 crore in subsidies to producers of 224 Tamil films, clearing a backlog that had been pending for seven years. Each selected producer received a cheque of Rs 7 lakh. The funds cover films produced between 2015 and 2022, selected by a committee headed by retired Justice SK Krishnan. The announcement, coming ahead of Diwali, was welcomed by the Tamil film industry. Producer T Siva of Amma Creations thanked Chief Minister Vijay and Minister for Tamil Development, Information and Publicity Rajmohan Arumugam for ensuring the release of the funds. The subsidy scheme is specifically aimed at supporting the production of low-budget Tamil films that address socially relevant subjects.
