Telgu film makers want to ban dubbed movies

BusinessLine reports

The Telugu film industry is in for a fresh row with Producers' Council deciding to impose curbs on dubbing movies, taking a cue from neighbouring Karnataka.

The council has also called for putting a full stop on dubbing films. It, however, has given a reprieve for those who have already bought rights for dubbing at a very huge consideration.

Such producers are supposed to produce relevant papers within a week. Those films will be released at a later date. "We will not consider any plea later on," the council warned its members.

The argument in favour of the decision is that dubbing movies would destroy the original movie-making in Telugu.
