The five months Coronavirus lockdown has put a halt on the film industry. After 5 months of the lockdown, the state and central government gave permission to resume shootings with all the COVID-19 regulations. However, Telangana Film Development Corporation’s Chairman Ram Mohan Rao said the resumption of full fledged shooting is unlikely to happen any time soon. He stated that no one will put their lives at risk and come for shooting as the positive cases are increasing every day.
A leading daily quoted Ram Mohan Rao as saying, “The government has given permission but who is willing to take the risk and shoot under these circumstances? COVID-19 cases are rising every day in the state and people’s lives are more important than resuming shoot. People are not able to attend their relatives’ funerals, why will they go to the cinema halls? Till the Covid-19 situation improves, it is unlikely that shootings will resume on a large-scale in Tollywood (sic.)’
