Omicron scare shakes shootings schedules in Delhi
Hindustan TimesThe entertainment industry is experiencing a sense of déjà vu as new restrictions are imposed in Delhi in response to the recent spike in Covid-19 cases, and Omicron scare. Ab permission hi nahi milegi toh kaise hi kaam karenge,” says Delhi-based line producer Ravi Sarin. That’s because shooting of a project would require more than 20 people to gather at one location, asserts Jain, adding, “crew mein kum se kum 150 log toh hote hain, toh kaise hi hoga. The current situation comes as a setback considering Delhi had recently become a hotspot for shooting in the last two months, with Ranveer Singh, Alia Bhatt, Dharmendra, Abhishek Bachchan, Kartik Aaryan and Kriti Sanon coming to the city to film their respective projects. Also, the industry is in holiday mood right now, and work will resume by mid January, hopefully things will get better by then.” Concluding on a thoughtful note, trade expert Akshaye Rathi says.
