The entertainment industry in Maharashtra has raked up severe losses in the 39 days since it went into shutdown, in adherence with the restrictions levied by the state government. With the Covid-19 cases in Mumbai witnessing a dip over the past few weeks, makers of films and television shows are hopeful that the shoot suspension will soon be lifted. Several cine bodies, including the Indian Film & Television Directors’ Association (IFTDA), Indian Film & Television Producers’ Council (IFTPC) and Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE), sent a letter to Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray over the weekend, making an appeal to this effect.
