Vishal who recently hailed CM Vijay's decision to shut 717 liquor shops that are within 500 meters of temples, schools, and bus stands, now questioned CM Vijay &nbsp;over other decision.He began, “Happy to see #CMJosephVijay allocating ministries to respective elected MLAs but it's disheartening to see honorable minister #Rajmohan to be in charge as minister of Film Technology and Cinematograph Act. How would I or we as a body or as an association render our requests or grievances of our film industry which is actually bleeding and so many reforms to be made and give a ray of hope for the fraternity especially producers /production houses to someone who has lesser or no experience of wat is happening in our industry more than our CM who was and is part of the industry from grassroot level and being part of the fraternity for last 30 years.”He went on to add the following requests:1. Kindly introduce a govt ticketing window which will bring revenue to the govt as well as relief to viewers who pay 30rs per ticket.2. Kindly abolish local body tax as we are the only state in India to induce 2 taxes against the "one India one tax "rule.3. Kindly increase subsidy for small films every year from the current meager amount given.“I know this can be given as a representation to the CM but these are being requested for the last 9 years. Not demeaning Mr. Rajmohan, but it's just my opinion. CM can give us the much-needed relief. God bless,”But Arun Vijay, another actor supported Vijay. He posted &nbsp;“Win your trust with people, get elected and do as you wish.. kindly do not intervene with decisions.. Being a fraternity from the industry, I'm sure he knows our problems and surely will help us out.. kindly let his decisions be respected and wait for an outcome.. Let's not come to any conclusions.. hope for the best..”
