The
Hindi
film
industry,
like
many
business
across
India,
have
taken
a
massive
hit
from
the
lockdown.
However,
the
industry
has
been
very
supportive
and
understanding
of
the
need
for
lockdown
during
the
Coronavirus
pandemic.
The
Federation
of
Western
Cine
Employyes
(FWICE)
wrote
to
Maharashtra
Chief
Minister
Uddhav
Thackeray
to
request
the
allowing
of
post-production
work
of
films,
shows
and
other
entertainment
projects
to
resume
soon,
with
minimum
workforce.
FWICE
pointed
that
many
producers
have
invested
crores
of
rupees
on
projects,
and
the
uncertainty
of
the
lockdown
is
having
a
severe
impact
on
them
The
letter
read,
"We
would
like
to
bring
to
your
kind
notice
that
there
are
numerous
projects
of
the
Media
and
Entertainment
Industry
which
are
halted
due
to
lockdown
and
can
be
completed
soon
as
only
the
post
production
activities
such
as
editing,
sound
recording,
music
recording
and
others
are
pending.
If
permissions
are
given
to
carry
out
such
post
production
activities
of
these
projects,
which
can
be
done
in
closed
studios
with
minimum
workforce,
it
would
be
great
relief
to
the
producers
who
have
poured
in
huge
funds
and
that
they
shall
be
all
set
to
release
their
projects
immediately
after
the
lockdown
is
lifted."
It
further
added,
"We
assure
you
of
complying
with
all
the
necessary
guidelines
pertaining
to
the
health,
safety
and
security
of
the
workers
involved
into
such
post
production
activities
if
permitted
to
do
so."
