Director Swami says that giving tax exemption to the films titled in Tamil is not significant

controversial director Swamy who directed films like Uyir and Mirugam is currently directing a film Saritharam. The shooting of the film is taking place in Pollachi. While speaking to the media at the shooting spot he said,” Tax exemption for the films with Tamil title is welcome but at the same time the essence is lost if the film has dialogues and songs with English words. Cinema should be useful to the society and should also reflect the views of the society. Tax exemption should be given to film which is art oriented.
Tax exemption was granted when cinema industry faced depression. But now it is not necessary because the corporates have forayed into film industry. It is better to pay subsidy to the producers who are financially not sound. So the people in the power should rethink about the exemption and tax exemption.”
