On April 4, a hunger strike was held by Tamil cinema condemning Karnataka. There was an order for all actors and technicians to participate in it.But actors Karthick, Arya, Asin, Simran, Navya Nair, Gopika, Padmapriya, Nila and directors Balachander, Bharatiraja, Mani Ratnam, Shankar and many more did not take part in it. In a meeting held on April 8, it was discussed about taking action against them. The South India Nadigar Sangam, Tamil Film Producers' Council, Directors Association and other associations took part in it. It was decided that those who did not take part in the hunger strike should explain within15 days, otherwise action would be taken against them. The 15-day notice period ends today.
Speaking about it, the General Secretary of Nadigar Sangam, Radha Ravi said:
More than 15 actors did not participate in the hunger strike. They have all written letters of explanation. But Asin has not done so.
Some actors who are not members of the Association did not participate in the strike. We can't take action against them. But they all have sent letters of explanation to us. However, Asin being a member has not sent any letter. Therefore it is right to take action against her.
A decision will be taken after a discussion with all associations. The President of Nadigar Sangam, Sarath Kumar is out of station and as such the meeting will be held on his return.”
There is a likelihood that Asin will be banned from acting in Tamil films.
