Demonetization of high value currency notes by Central Government is directly affecting the lives of poor and middle class while higher class cream is moving with their regular best. If a case study of Telugu film industry is done, film shootings aren’t halted much because producers aren’t paying the new currency to small time character, supporting artists while major payments to be made for heroes, heroines or high remuneration seeking supporting actors are already done.
Those artists who survive on day to day wages are the main sufferers. Their lives are clearly in trouble. Such junior artists take payments in cash on daily basis after the completion of day. They are forced to accept 500 or 1000 old currency notes or else go unemployed, says a source from Krishna Nagar.
To make both ends meet, these junior actors aren’t refusing the offers. With 500 and 1000 notes on hand, one really doesn’t know how many shopkeepers in and around Krishna Nagar are welcoming them? Finally, it’s a hard time for those who fight for bread and butter day wise.
