There is a big argument in the Telugu film industry.

A famous dance teacher named Jani Master and his wife, who is the president of the dancers' union, are in trouble.

The workers' union, TFIEF, is upset with them and has asked its members not to work with Jani Master.

The union says Jani Master is being disrespectful and not following their rules.

Jani Master, on the other hand, says some people in the union are being unfair to producers.

Producers are also complaining that the union's rules make it hard for them to hire new dancers and increase their costs.

They say the union makes them hire dancers from certain places and pay a lot of money for union cards, which keeps new dancers from getting jobs.
