(By Representative) Mumbai, Ta. 5 May 2020, Tuesday

The lockdown is slowly slowing down. Then people from each sector are preparing their own guideline on how to start working again. Indian associations have also started making their own plans for the shooting. The Producers Guild of India has teamed up with the Cine & TV Artists Association (CINTAA) and the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) to resume shooting of the films in a virtual meeting.

People over the age of 60 will not be allowed to shoot in the first three months before the shooting starts. Each artist coming to the set from their home doing makeup and styling work. Only one staff member will be able to accompany the artist on set. The producers of each film will have to provide four masks to each person working on their set during the 12-hour shift.

Informing the meeting, Cinta President Amit Bahl said, "After our meeting with FWICE, we have taken a decision together with all the associations." All health related rules and instructions will be followed to start shooting. Once we all agree, we will send our rules and instructions to the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting and the Ministry of Labor. After this we will take a final decision on this issue again.

Siddharth Roy, president of the TV and Film Producers Guild of India, said in a statement. He has ordered every producer and director to follow certain rules on set. Each performer and crew member arriving on set will have to undergo a medical examination of their health. Their body temperature will also be measured during this. This procedure will be done on a daily basis. Doctors and nurses will be present on set. These rules will be enforced for the first three months of the shooting. We cannot play a game with the health of any employee for shooting. There has also been a discussion about the life insurance of people working on the set.
