The shooting for all the movies, TV shows and ads will not be allowed. The shops, malls and shopping centres which are not performing essential services will also remain closed in the state from April 14 (8pm) till May 1 (7am).

The entertainment industry was severly affected by the COVID-19 lockdown in 2020 as the shoot for all the films, shows and ads was halted for severel months, resulting in losses worth crores.

On a related note, the Maharashtra government has postponed the state board exams of Classes 10 and 12 due to the increasing number of COVID-19 cases. The exams were supposed to take place in April 2021; they have been now postponed to May end and June for classes 10 and 12 respectively.
