The salaries should be revised every three years but this time,it was not done even after four years. A senior film worker, shared his thoughts saying "We have every right to ask for better wages. On average, a film worker gets anywhere between 500-1500 per day. We knew that our decision would affect all the film shootings, but if we won't fight for our rights, who else will?"
