The production house behind Ravi Teja’s Irumudi has been called to a meeting by the Telangana labour department after a complaint concerning child actor Nakshathra’s working conditions.
Complaint covers hours, pay and safety
According to a report by Telangana Today, C Mahesh Babu, founder-president of Jai Lok Satta (Social Justice Forum), approached the labour department with concerns about the child actor’s working hours, remuneration and related issues.
The complaint places the production process under scrutiny on matters involving the treatment and protection of a child performer. The concerns extend beyond the duration of work and payment, with safety also cited in the complaint.
Production house asked to attend meeting
The joint commissioner of labour for the Ranga Reddy Zone has scheduled a meeting with the production house for November 4. It will take place at Anjaiah Karmika Samkshema Bhavan on RTC X Roads.
The department is also expected to examine whether the conversations and language used during a promotional event affected Nakshathra’s dignity and safety. The review adds a further dimension to the complaint, linking the concerns to the conduct surrounding the film’s promotion.
What happens next
The scheduled meeting will give labour officials an opportunity to hear from the production house regarding the issues raised in the complaint. Further developments will depend on the department’s examination of the reported working conditions and promotional-event concerns.
