Mumbai Rains: TV, Film Shoots Largely Unaffected!
Surbhi Chandna, Mohnish Bahl's Star Plus how 'Sanjivani 2' shoot and Sony tv show 'Ishaaron Ishaaron Mein' launch cancelled while Varun Dhawan-Shraddha Kapoor starrer 'Street Dancer' was delayed. Other shows of the channel, however, continued to shoot.
Mumbai: Film and TV shoots largely remained unaffected from the heavy rains which lashed the metropolis Tuesday, with some TV shows being called off. "Mostly TV shoots which happen beyond Dahisar have been badly hit. There are some 20-30 shows which are shot there but that might not happen today. Even the government has given a directive of staying indoors today so naturally shoots have been halted,"President of Indian Film & Television Directors' Association (IFTDA), Ashoke Pandit, told PTI.
Pandit said shooting today is a "huge risk" not only to the safety of crew but also because expensive equipments run the risk of getting damaged.
"Industry people, the workers have not been able to reach offices because of the rain. Daily shoots cost Rs 3-4 lakh per day and shooting in such a scenario is a complete risk. On behalf of federation, we have urged our members to keep their safety as priority," he said.
