Allu Aravind stated today that 50% of the TV serials of other languages dubbed in to Telugu will be stopped from next month.

TV artists have been protesting over the issue for a long time and violence took place even when some groups were peacefully protesting. Left parties and some eminent film personalities support their cause.

Because of the agreements entered in to, it may not be possible to stop the dubbed serials all of a sudden but it can be gradually done so that the local artists' interests will not be hampered.

Film or TV actors have to maintain their physique and glamour and they need to spend good amount of money for that to survive as actors. It is easy for the TV Channels to go for dubbed serials as they are less costly and easy to get sponsors as its success is already proved in other languages. But the local artists find it difficult if ample opportunities are not given and sufficient remuneration is not received.

Allu Arvind said that he had a talk with other TV Channels and also with the artist groups protesting dubbed serials.
