Mumbai: The Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) has written a letter to Maharashtra Chief Minster Uddhav Thackeray, urging the government to allow films and TV shows to restart production in the state.
In April, the Maha government had announced the suspension of all shootings in order to curb the spread of the infection in the state, which was in the middle of the deadly second wave of COVID-19.
Currently, some TV shows and film shoots are happening outside Maharashtra.
In their letter, sent to Thackeray on Monday, the FWICE said the media and entertainment (M&E) sector has been badly hit due to the coronavirus-forced statewide lockdown.
