Bollywood comes to a halt, as Cine Artists go on Strike

Breaking News! Life in Bollywood came to a complete halt, as more than 100,000 cine artists (both Bollywood and television) went on an indefinite strike from Wednesday. They are protesting against irregular compensation and hiring of non-union members. The latest development may delay the release of some major movies during the upcoming festival season.

According to sources, payments of the cine artists have been delayed by several months. In some circumstances, the producers reportedly hire non-members to save costs. Major TV soaps are also likely to be affected by this strike if an early solution is not worked out.
