The Telugu Film Producer’s Council has taken a key decision regarding the film shooting in view of the surge in COVID-19 positive cases across the country and especially in the twin Telugu states. The TFPC has issued a press note, stating that only ’emergency shootings’ will take place at the moment.
The TFPC further said that all the shooting units will consist of only 50 cine workers. Also, even the post-production works must be carried out with a limited crew that too following all the SOPs prescribed by the state and central governments.
It’s well known that, already, several medium and high budget films’ shootings have been stalled temporarily and release dates delayed due to the rising number of COVID-19 cases in the second wave.
Fans and colleagues were shocked and anxious when reports of hero Pawan Kalyan testing positive for COVID-19 went viral a couple of days ago. Pawan is currently quarantined at his farmhouse under doctors’ supervision 24/7.
Earlier today, Pawan released a message and assured all the worried fans that his health is improving and that he is recovering well. Pawan went on to urge everyone to be more cautious about COVID-19, as the deadly virus is again wreaking havoc and destroying many lives.
Pawan also lamented the sad state of our health systems, where there’s a severe shortage of ventilators and beds in hospitals for COVID positive people. Pawan urged the governments to be proactive in addressing these burning issues at the earliest.
