Television shoots will come to a standstill in Mumbai for the next 15 days in the wake of rising Covid-19 cases in the state. Maharashtra CM Uddhav Thackeray has announced a strict 'janta curfew' in the state till 7 am on May 1. He said it is important to observe the restrictions to break the chain of Covid-19 transmission. Thackeray has said that there will be no lockdown, but strict restrictions have been imposed on many things.
Thackeray announced restrictions according to which Section 144 will be imposed across the state. He has categorically stated that no one should step out of the house unless it is an emergency, which means that there will be no shooting for the next 15 days.
Speaking on this, JD Majethia, chairman and producer of the Indian Film and TV Producers Council (IFTPC), said, "It is a time when we all should come together, and support our CM in what he has decided for our state and join him to reduce the impact of this pandemic. According to the instructions that we have received at present, we will stop shooting. However, through our shoots, we entertain the people who are currently locked in their houses and provide them with much-needed respite. We entertain people who are already stressed and frustrated. So, I see us as frontline workers. We will read the full order first and then we'll approach CM Uddhav ji that it would be good if we could create a bio bubble and shoot. But we also want to walk shoulder to shoulder with the state and want to defeat this pandemic."
There are also reports that some serials will be shot in Hyderabad, Rajasthan and some will go to Goa and shoot for 15 days. Ekta Kapoor shows will reportedly be shot in Goa while Star Plus shows Imlie and Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin's shoot will move to Hyderabad. Another TV show, Pandya Store will be shot in Bikaner.
