Ghanshyam Nayak, while talking to an entertainment portal, revealed that he started shooting for 'TMKOC' from December 16. He said that he had shot for his last episode before the COVID-19 lockdown on March 16. The veteran actor, who is doing fine, has now made a comeback to the popular sitcom. The producers of several TV shows commenced the shoot in the last week of June 2020. However, Nayak couldn't resume shoot as the Maharashtra government barred the actors above the age of 65 from shooting during the COVID-19 crisis. Bombay High Court later gave the permission to senior actors to commence shoot. Nayak had to undergo a surgery, which required him to take rest for some months. He has finally made a comeback after recovering.
