CINTAA's Senior Vice President, actor Manoj Joshi met with
the Honorable Governor of Maharashtra Shri Bhagat Singh Koshyari today. They
discussed the issue of senior actors, above the age of 65, not being allowed to
shoot. The Honorable Governor assured of necessary co-operation.
The meeting was a dual purpose meeting, reveals Manoj Joshi.
The Honourable Governor who has witnessed the freedom struggle wrote an essay
on Mahatma Gandhi, participating in the competition organised by the Postal
Department as a common man. When he won the competition, he added three times
the amount to the prize money and gifted the same to the post office employees
for protection against COVID19.
"I had been to his place to congratulate him on this
amazing gesture as well as honour him
with a shawl along with State BJP Secretary and
Vice-Chairman, of Maharashtra Film, Stage & Cultural Development
Corporation Ltd (MFSCDCL) Amarjeet
Mishra who presented The Hon Governor with an idol of Vithoba and
Rukmini."
Manoj Joshi then briefed the Hon Governor on CINTAA, its
history, its members, on the senior citizens who are members of CINTAA on whom
their family depends for livelihood, and that they already have had no work
from three months. He elaborated that the number of working seniors was not
very large, but apart from that, there are continuity issues and producers can
not replace them. "The Hon Governor gave us a patient ear. It was a good
40 minute meeting. He was very positive and assured that he would help us in
the best way possible. He had received the letter from CINTAA that we had sent him," elaborates Joshi.
CINTAA had also sent letters to the Hon CM Uddhav
Thackeray, Hon Minister Subash Desai and
Former Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis besides the Hon Governor. "We are
glad the meeting with the Hon Governor
was an eventful one and are hopeful that the outcome would be a positive
one. The meeting was indeed reassuring."
