A | (ECNS) -- China has extended 240 hour transit visa free and 30 day Hainan visa free entry to citizens of Kyrgyzstan and Vietnam starting Thursday, the National Immigration Administration said. With these additions, the number of countries covered by China’s 240-hour transit visa-free policy rise to 57, while the 30-day visa-free entry policy for south China’s Hainan Province cover citizens of 61 countries. Kyrgyz and Vietnamese citizens with ordinary passports and confirmed onward tickets may enter through 65 designated ports, including Beijing and Shanghai, and stay up to 240 hours in approved areas. They may also enter Hainan visa-free and remain within the province for up to 30 days. Travelers entering China under the two visa-free policies may engage in short-term activities such as tourism, business, visiting relatives and friends.

。 At a time when the makers of Balakrishna’s Akhanda 2 expected a lot of support from the industry when the film was suddenly postponed, they reportedly got very little backing, according to the film’s composer Thaman S. At the Akhanda 2 press conference held in Hyderabad on Sunday, the music director’s comments hogged the limelight more than anything else. He expressed concern over detractors for spreading negativity about Akhanda 2's financial issues.
We are not here as a strong unit: Thaman
Akhanda 2 was supposed to release on December 5 but arrived a week later. Thaman questioned the timing of the court case (filed by Eros International), which could have been filed earlier too and why it was only done at the time of release. “This indicates how the world (Tollywood) lacks unity, and we are not here as a strong unit. Unity is strength, and we all should inculcate such thinking.” Thaman stated that after the film was postponed, many spoke about Akhanda 2 in the media but none came to the production and spoke to the producers. “That would have given the filmmakers a lot of strength. Everyone says that producers are nice people but no one comes forward to help and sort the issue. A film is a collaborative effort and the need of the hour is to pat each other.”
‘Tollywood is inspiring’
Thaman’s comments have once again turned the spotlight on the film industry. He accentuated the need to ‘help each other’ and grow as a cohesive unit, and not individually. “I work in multiple industries, and technicians talk so proudly about how Tollywood has been inspiring.” Talking about what went into composing music for Akhanda 2, Thaman revealed that around 600 technicians worked only on the music departmentò. “We took around 77 days to work on the background score, and only the interval block took around 11 days. My entire team was there throughout supporting me.”Also Read: Akhanda 2 Review: An Unsubtle War Against Terror and Logic。
