This is  a huge setback for  the Corona-stricken  Indian entertainment  industry.Already reeling under the impact  of  movie theatres’ closure across the country, the  suspension of shooting will be calamitous   for  the television  industry which  moves on a day-to-day basis supplying content to television channels.

Daily  soaps would  just have  to  do repeats  on  air until the  situation normalizes.As  for the films,nearly every film underproduction will suffer a  huge blow because  of this rude interruption.The  losses, say trade experts, will  run into hundreds  of crores  of rupees.
