CINTAA's Senior Vice President, actor Manoj Joshi
met with the Honorable Governor of Maharashtra Shri Bhagat Singh Koshyari
today. They discussed the issue of senior actors, above the age of 65,
not being allowed to shoot. The Honorable Governor assured of necessary
co-operation.
The meeting was a dual purpose meeting, reveals
Manoj Joshi. The Honourable Governor who has witnessed the freedom struggle
wrote an essay on Mahatma Gandhi, participating in the competition organised by
the Postal Department as a common man. When he won the competition, he added
three times the amount to the prize money and gifted the same to the post
office employees for protection against COVID19.
"I had been to his place to congratulate him on
this amazing gesture as well as honour
him with a shawl along with State BJP Secretary and Vice-Chairman, of Maharashtra Film, Stage
& Cultural Development Corporation Ltd (MFSCDCL) Amarjeet Mishra who presented The Hon Governor with an
idol of Vithoba and Rukmini."
Manoj Joshi then briefed the Hon Governor on
CINTAA, its history, its members, on the senior citizens who are members of
CINTAA on whom their family depends for livelihood, and that they already have
had no work from three months. He elaborated that the number of working seniors
was not very large, but apart from that, there are continuity issues and
producers can not replace them. "The Hon Governor gave us a patient ear.
It was a good 40 minute meeting. He was very positive and assured
that he would help us in the best way possible. He had received the letter from
CINTAA that we had sent him,"
elaborates Joshi.
CINTAA had also sent letters to the Hon CM Uddhav
Thackeray, Hon Minister Subash Desai and
Former Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis besides the Hon Governor. "We are
glad the meeting with the Hon Governor
was an eventful one and are hopeful that the outcome would be a positive
one. The meeting was indeed reassuring."
