How to resume film shootings when the COVID cases are on the rise?
Some producers decided to provide accommodation for the entire unit until the schedule is completed.
The entire unit will take a COVID test before stepping into the sets and they should not leave for their homes until the schedule is wrapped up.
This is a huge burden for producers as it will increase the cost of production.
Providing accommodation and food for more than fifty members for each schedule that would take fifteen to twenty days to complete will shoot the production costs up.
Producers may take the risk if the director and the lead actors agree to cut their remunerations down.
However, the risk of contracting a virus cannot be overcome in spite of taking the utmost safety measures.
Senior producers like Suresh Babu have decided not to resume work until the coronavirus cases significantly go down.
