Kerala film producers to enforce ‘No Drugs' affidavit for actors and crew; starting June 26
(Picture Courtesy: Facebook) The Kerala Film Producers' Association has reportedly announced a new policy mandating all actors, technicians, and crew members to submit a 'no drugs' affidavit along with their remuneration contract. This decision is part of a broader effort to promote clean and professional filming environments, and is scheduled for implementation on June 26, coinciding with the International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking. Mandatory for all crew and cast Reported by On Manorama, as per the new guideline, the affidavit will serve as a formal declaration that the individual will not consume or possess drugs during the film's production, both on set and at their accommodations. Any violation of this clause may make the individual liable for financial losses incurred by the producer. This will reinforce accountability across all departments of a film shoot. The Producers' Association aims to make this a universal requirement for all workers involved in filmmaking, including junior artists and supporting staff. A sample affidavit has already been shared with other major industry bodies, including FEFKA (Film Employees Federation of Kerala) and AMMA (Association of Malayalam Movie Artists). by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like North Carolina: These Walk In Tubs Are Cheap (See Prices) Walk In Tub Discounts Learn More Undo Industry response underway According to sources, FEFKA has responded positively to the initiative.

Symphony of flavours & emotions at Tuya
Chef Suresh DC's journey from a passionate culinary enthusiast to a celebrated chef is a testament to his commitment to both innovation and tradition. An award-winning culinary maestro, he is acclaimed for his inventive flair in transforming familiar dishes into extraordinary gastronomic experiences. Fuelled by an unwavering passion for food, Chef Suresh has earned global recognition — featured in The World's 50 Best Discoveries and ranked as the 16th Best Chef by the prestigious Culinary Culture Awards, which celebrate India's finest culinary talent. Now, he brings his dream project, Tuya, to Hyderabad's Jubilee Hills. In a conversation with CE, Chef Suresh shares what Tuya truly represents, his deep-rooted connection to his heritage, and his firm belief that South Indian cuisine deserves a larger spotlight on the global stage. Excerpts Tell us about Tuya. It means 'pure' in Tamil. It was a long-time dream. Like many chefs, right after college, the goal is to open your own restaurant. Unfortunately, that dream doesn't come true for many, but I was passionate. I always wanted to serve pure, authentic food. By authentic, I mean flavour-wise. But in terms of presentation, since I trained in European kitchens for six years, I try to bring those techniques to the food I grew up currently have 102 seats. It's actually pretty massive. Initially, I wanted a small space with a one-page menu. But the market here demanded a bigger menu, so I decided not to take that risk. What kind of food can people expect at Tuya? You'll find familiar local dishes, but reimagined. For instance, we have Sarva Pindi, but made with avocado. Then there's Muntha Masala, instead of the usual mirchi bhajji, we've done it with a Gongura tempura twist. We also serve a Hazelnut Pootharekulu. So the idea is to take favourites and improvise — make them fun, yet rooted.
