Telugu film industry protests over attacks

Hyderabad, December 24: Telugu film industry expressed anguish over attacks on film personalities at shooting spots near Hyderabad over last few days.

The AP Film Chamber of Commerce, Producers Council, Hyderabad Film Chamber of Commerce, Movies Artists Association and AP Film Employees federation in a joint statement today said that film industry does not belong to any political party and recent attacks would be treated as attack on the industry itself.

In a fresh incident, pro-Telangana activists set afire a film setting created for an unnamed movie with popular actor Mahesh in lead role near Vikarabad, 60 kilometres from here.

Police said some activists set fire to the setting though no one was injured in the incident.
