Ban South Indian movies, say posters in Kandy

[TamilNet, Wednesday, 07 January 2009, 16:49 GMT]
Sinhala ultra-nationalists have launched a campaign against screening South Indian movies in the theatres of Kandy, the capital of Central Province in Sri Lanka. Posters requesting the public not to allow screening South Indian films in theatre have appeared in several parts of the town, including the busy central bus stand and Good Shed area close to the railway station, sources in the town said.

Posters printed in Sinhala say that the producers of South Indian films are LTTE supporters and the money Sinhala fans pay to these films goes to LTTE.
