We hear that the sets of Shakti Astitva Ke Ehsaas Ki, which stars Avinash Mukherjee, Jigyasa, and Kamya Punjabi has been temporarily shifted to Hyderabad at the Ramoji Studios. The actors are believed to have flown down resume shooting. Until Mumbai doesn’t become a green zone, the production has decided to shoot out of Ramoji to make up for the last three months.
Meanwhile, buzz is that many other production houses might choose an alternative set option till things return to normalcy. However, Balaji Telefilms will mostly be properly sanitisating their sets and use them cautiously without moving their base. Well, it’s also been said that mostly shoots in Umbergoan will also resume given that the area comes in the orange zone and is comparatively safe to operate from. Film City gates might reopen from the 15th with due caution.
