Novel
Coronavirus
outbreak
has
stopped
the
functioning
of
many
sectors.
Due
to
the
rapid
spread
of
COVID-19,
the
government
has
asked
the
people
from
the
entertainment
industry
to
halt
shootings
for
some
days
to
curb
the
spread
of
the
virus.
Because
of
this,
many
films'
releases,
shooting
of
shows
and
web
series'
have
been
put
on
hold.
This
will
directly
affect
the
showbiz.
Speaking
about
the
effects
of
Coronavirus
on
Bollywood,
filmmaker
Madhur
Bhandarkar,
in
an
interview
with
ETimes,
said,
"To
be
honest,
Bollywood
is
a
very
small
component
of
the
world.
This
is
a
world
issue.
I
am
more
worried
about
the
common
man
on
the
street.
I
am
worried
about
the
migrants
who
are
walking
home.
I
am
happy
that
the
Government
has
helped
them
to
reach
their
homes."
"It
will
take
time
but
Bollywood
will
come
back.
The
morale
of
the
people
has
been
hit
the
big
time,
not
only
of
our
countrymen
but
of
the
people
all
over
the
world.
It
has
affected
the
economy
of
the
entire
world.
Even
after
this,
people
will
take
time
to
come
to
theatres
and
watch
movies.
There
is
a
vaccine
for
Malaria,
plague
but
there
is
no
vaccine
for
coronavirus
yet.
So
we
don't
know
when
this
will
end,"
(sic)
Madhur
Bhandarkar
elaborated.
Speaking
about
the
help
from
Bollywood
celebs
to
the
daily
wage
workers
from
the
industry,
Madhur
said,
"IMPPA
(Indian
Motion
Picture
Producers'
Association),
Film
Guild
and
others,
we
all
are
coming
together
to
help
people.
We
have
been
giving
food
packages
and
monetary
help
to
the
daily
wage
workers.
Lot
of
people
are
contributing
towards
it.
Today,
we
have
to
stand
with
our
country
completely.
We
have
to
see
to
it
that
our
fellow
citizens
does
not
sleep
hungry.
This
is
the
need
of
the
hour.
People
who
live
with
more
than
four
to
five
people
in
a
small
space,
it
is
difficult
for
them
to
follow
the
norms
like
social
distancing."
Meanwhile,
celebrities
like
Akshay
Kumar,
Vicky
Kaushal,
Varun
Dhawan,
Anushka
Sharma,
Salman
Khan
and
others
have
donated
towards
PM
CARES
Fund
and
other
charities
to
help
Coronavirus-affected
people.
