It looks like Telugu film industry is heading towards a complete shutdown. The big films have given the summer a miss bringing complete vacuum at the box office. A very few small films are trying to make use of it but things not looking good with audience staying away from theaters and rumors about 50% occupancy and night curfew coming up.
The small films will still take 50% occupancy but if at all, night curfew happens, it will be a total shutdown of the theaters. Things are not looking rosy for the film shootings as well. Acharya team has gone into Isolation after Sonu Sood is tested positive for Coronavirus.
Anil Ravipudi is tested positive when he is about to resume F3 shoot. The second schedule of Mahesh Babu’s Sarkaru Vaari Paata began recently after a long break. The shooting now came to a halt after five members of the movie unit are tested positive.
“This is very much the reality. The shootings may have to stop until the peak starts to decline. We can not risk the safety of people. In just few hours, the movie could have become the epicenter of a COVID cluster. Sarkaru Vaari Paata incident is only a mirror to what is in store if we do not stop the shootings,” a source told us.
