Chiranjeevi Denies Promise to Film Workers Amid Tollywood Strike
Film workers in Telugu cinema are striking, asking for more money.
Someone claimed actor Chiranjeevi promised to help with their demands, but he said that's not true.
He hasn't talked to them.
The workers want a 30% raise, and the industry's main group, the Film Chamber, is talking to them.
Chiranjeevi says only the Film Chamber can make decisions, not him.
The workers are planning a protest if things don't improve.
Chiranjeevi refuted claims of assuring film workers during the ongoing strike.
Reports falsely stated Chiranjeevi promised to meet wage hike demands.
The actor clarified he has not met with the Film Federation.
The Telugu Film Industry Employees Federation demands a 30% wage increase.
The Film Chamber of Commerce will handle negotiations, not individual actors.
