West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari orchestrated a meeting on Wednesday to address longstanding issues within the Bengali film industry, known as Tollywood.

Actors-turned-BJP legislators Rupa Ganguly, Rudranil Ghosh, and Hiran Chatterjee are now tasked with implementing reforms to ensure a transparent and fear-free work environment. This initiative responds to allegations of entrenched syndicate control linked to the previous TMC regime.

The government's focus isn't limited to cinema, as Adhikari called for assessments in education, culture, and health sectors. These efforts are seen as comprehensive steps towards curbing monopolistic practices and re-establishing fair industry dynamics.
