The ongoing pandemic has resulted in an economic crisis all over the World. Tollywood is no exception for the crisis and already few producers are feeling the heat!

The latest news doing rounds in Telugu Film Nagar is all about the possible ways to resume shootings of the stalled films after the shutdown eases.

As per the new updates from Producers Guild of India, the films can resume shootings but have to follow some stringent rules proposed this autonomous body.

PGI has issued a set of guide lines for safe shooting or filming environment. It said all the cast and crew should maintain physical distance and sanitize themselves very often. It is the production house job to provide sanitizers and PPE kits to the needed crew who work very closely. A trained health nurse and two junior doctors should be present in the sets of the film. An Ambulance should also be kept as a precautionary measure. For three months in the coming days people aged above 60 should not be allowed on sets. Moreover the shootings should be limited to indoors and should sanitize the studio daily.

Now it remains to be seen how the producers manage all these cost burdens in the name if safety. If at all they oblige to follow all the above mentioned rules they have to still wait for the respective state governments to allow movie people for shootings.

On the otherside, the actors are said to be fearing the Corona pandemic as they have to deal with crew closely while makeup and if at all in the intimate scenes too which cannot be canned with the physical distance and so called measures. Moreover, stars do not want to risk themselves and their families as of now!
