Bollywood Goes on Strike, Movie Shoots Cancelled

Backstage: "More than 100,000 Bollywood and television workers began an indefinite strike on Wednesday, protesting irregular pay and the hiring of non-union members, a move that could delay major releases for India's festival season."

I am not a big fan of Bollywood's creations. I find them annoying normally, and this article almost made me smile some. How many people does a Bollywood strike actually effect? Honnestly, I wouldn't even know that Bollywood existed if it wasn't for insomnia and really obscure TV channels that show Bollywood created stuff at odd ours of the morning. I understand the issue the employees effected by the issues that caused the strike face, but I still honestly wonder exactly how much of an impact this'll actually have on anything.
