Talasani Srinivas Yadav, minister for animal husbandry, fisheries, dairy development corp. and cinematography and chief secretary Somesh Kumar were also part of the meeting.
Stars from the Telegu industry such as Chiranjeevi, Akkineni Nagarjuna, filmmaker SS Rajamouli, and producer Dil Raju, on Friday, met with Telangana chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao (KCR) to discuss the issues pertaining to the film industry in the wake of coronavirus pandemic and the steps to be taken ahead. Reports quoted a producer saying that KCR responded positively to the demands made. They said, "In the meeting, it was decided that post-production work on films and TV serials will begin immediately in a phased manner. They decided that film shooting can begin in June; however, it will be done with a lot of restrictions. The decision of reopening theatres will be taken after a review."
Talasani Srinivas Yadav, minister for animal husbandry, fisheries, dairy development corp. and cinematography and chief secretary Somesh Kumar were also part of the meeting. The producer added, "At the meeting in Chiranjeevi sir’s residence, they discussed various plans for resuming shooting from next month. They want to begin shooting some films and see how things pan out as they have to do it with a lot of restrictions."
In an earlier interview, Chiranjeevi had said that the Telugu film industry will bounce back strongly in the post-pandemic era. "We can’t estimate the losses right now. But I feel that it will run into hundreds of crores. I don’t know when the theatres will reopen, and when we can start shooting again. But I am confident that the cinema industry will bounce back once normality is restored. After the lockdown, we will discuss how to go forward. We have to talk to the financiers too and request them to reduce the interest and help the producers. Not just the film industry, but all other industries are incurring losses. We have to stand united and overcome this situation once everything gets back to normal," he had said.
