The
Hindi
film
industry
has
taken
a
big
hit
due
to
the
Coronavirus
pandemic
and
lockdown.
With
cinema
halls
being
shut,
and
productions
halted,
costs
to
the
industry
are
rising.
Actress
Yami
Gautam
opines
that
there
will
be
budget
cuts
in
Bollywood,
and
reworking
of
mediums
through
which
films
are
presented.
IANS
quoted
Yami
as
saying,
"Budgets
are
going
to
be
reworked.
Already
the
proposed
films
that
most
of
us
were
to
be
part
of,
are
looking
at
reworked
budgets
and
mediums,
with
theatres
being
shut
and
with
no
idea
when
they'll
open.
Of
course,
the
mid-budget
films
have
an
opportunity
to
opt
for
digital
platforms,
She
said
that
there
are
films
coming
her
way
with
the
proposal
that
they
are
for
the
digital
platform.
She
thinks
that
this
shift
is
already
happening.
"We
don't
know
when
we're
going
to
resume
shooting
because
even
after
the
lockdown
is
lifted,
it
doesn't
look
like
the
coronavirus
will
be
contained," she
said.
"We
will
still
have
to
follow
protocols,
precautions
and
the
fresh
guidelines
of
that
time.
We'll
have
to
wait
and
watch.
Safety
is
the
most
important
thing.
I
don't
think
things
will
resume
any
time
soon," she
added.
Yami
further
said,
"Budgets,
of
course,
are
going
to
be
curtailed
and
reworked,
knowing
that
globally
the
economy
is
taking
a
hit.
Content
wise,
I
can
hope
that
this
is
the
time
people
are
using
to
write
films
about
good
subjects
and
fresh
concepts.
I
hope
content
wise
we
come
out
stronger."
Yami
was
last
seen
in
Bala,
starring
alongside
Ayushmann
Khurrana
and
Bhumi
Pednekar.
She
will
next
be
seen
in
the
romantic
comedy
Ginny
Weds
Sunny.
