A delegation of South Indian producers led by popular producer Suresh Babu met the DSPs in Bengaluru a day ago to negotiate and bring down the fee, however, the talks are said to have failed to lead to a decision which will have an enormous effect on the forthcoming releases in Tamil and Telugu.
The delegation of producers has now decided not to release any films from March 2nd, 2018 to oppose the high fee being charged by the DSPs. DSPs, like QUBE and UFO, came in to picture after the projecting technology advanced from analog to digital in cinema halls.
The DSPs installed their equipment in theatres directly for projection of films and charged the cost from producers directly.
However, the cost of equipment was to be borne by the producers and cinema halls jointly, which led to change in dynamics.
