One of the most versatile actors in the industry, Arvind Swami has never shied away from voicing his opinion in matters concerning politics or cinema. The actor had his own thoughts over the ongoing strike in the Tamil industry spearheaded by Tamil Film Producers' Council. The strike has been going on for over a month since the TFPC announced a complete shutdown against the Digital Service Providers for charging an exorbitant price.

Swamy tweeted, “To be honest, I am kind of getting tired of this strike. Want to get back to work. Have no progress made in the terms put forward or the negotiations. I just hope everyone can get back to working soon and making movies. Thousands affected, need quick resolutions.” Not only actors, the strike has notably affected many daily-wage labourers. He also requested filmmakers and producers to stall the post and pre-production work of their respective films to show solidarity. It isn't clear if the strike would end anytime soon.

On the work front, Swamy awaits the release of two projects, 'Naragasooran', and 'Bhaskar Oru Rascal'. He will also reunite with Mani Ratnam for 'Chekka Chivantha Vaanam'.
