'No to Filmfare Award function in Assam': Artists community

Guwahati, Jan 28 (UNI) Leading artists from Assam including renowned director Jhanu Barua has appealed to the people of the state to boycott the Filmfare Awards which is slated to take place in the mid of February due to the prevailing situation in the state.

We appeal to the people to boycott the show which is a corporate event and Assam government is helping them in their cause overlooking the prevailing situation in the state,” Arup Borbora, Chief Spokesperson, Anchaliktabad Suraksha Manch said in a press conference which was attended by artists, singers and directors of Assamese Film Industry.
Renowned director Jhanu Barua in a telephonic message said he is completely against the staging of such corporate event on government expense.
