The Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) has formed a "monitoring team" to ensure that all COVID-19 shooting guidelines -- including safety precautions on set, avoiding filming of crowd sequences-- are strictly followed amid the surge in coronavirus cases in Maharashtra. The film and TV industry has been badly hit due to the rising COVID-19 cases in the state and particularly the capital city.
Several on-ground productions like Ram Setu, Gangubai Kathiawadi and Dharma Productions-backed Mr Lele halted shoots after their leading actors, including Akshay Kumar, Alia Bhatt, Vicky Kaushal and Bhumi Pednekar tested positive for coronavirus. Apart from the actors, as many as 45 members of Kumar`s Ram Setu have also tested positive for the novel coronavirus.
