Overview

• Federation president Anil Vallabhaneni announced the strike is off, clearing the way for film shoots to restart in Hyderabad.
• The settlement delivers a structured hike: for daily wages below ₹2,000, increases of 15%, 2.5% and 5% over three years, and for ₹2,000–₹5,000, raises of 7.5%, 5% and 5%.
• The Telangana government will constitute a panel of producers and federation members within two months to address pending issues such as service conditions and hiring norms.
• Call-sheet rules were partially revised, including 1.5 call sheets for two second Sundays, with four unions to set their timings and unresolved items routed to the new panel.
• The 18–19 day stoppage stalled nearly 30 shoots and pushed a major ‘Ramayana’ production out of Hyderabad, as labour officials also ordered all 24 unions to submit audit records within three days.
