According
to
reports,
Cyclone
Tauktae
that
hit
Mumbai
earlier
this
week
has
also
affected
the
entertainment
industry.
Several
production
studios
had
to
suffer
heavy
losses
due
to
the
destruction
of
sets
that
were
erected
in
Mumbai.
Apart
from
Ajay
Devgn's
Maidaan,
the
sets
of
films
like
Sanjay
Leela
Bhansali's
Gangubai
Kathiawadi
and
Salman
Khan's
Tiger
3
also
have
faced
huge
damages
due
to
cyclone
Tauktae.
The
film
sets
erected
outdoors
faced
most
damage
in
the
cyclone.
Reportedly,
the
sets
were
on
the
area
outside
the
Film
City
and
Aarey
Milk
colony.
Since
the
lockdown
has
been
imposed
and
the
production
was
put
on
hold,
no
one
was
present
on
the
sets,
preventing
any
injuries
to
the
films'
cast
and
crew.
The
makers
of
Ajay
Devgn-starrer
Maidaan
had
a
huge
football
stadium
set
erected,
which
will
have
to
be
rebuilt
once
the
production
begins
again.
Directed
by
Amit
Ravindranath
Sharma,
the
film's
final
schedule
is
yet
to
be
shot
costing
huge
financial
loss
once
again.
Meanwhile,
Sanjay
Leela
Bhansali's
Gangubai
Kathiawadi
sets
also
faced
some
damages
due
to
the
cyclone
but
managed
to
avert
serious
damages
as
recently
it
was
covered
with
sheets.
The
makers
have
one
day
of
shoot
left
to
wrap
the
film
and
now
are
worried
about
the
post-production
being
delayed.
The
sets
of
Salman
Khan-starrer
Tiger
3
have
also
been
partially
destroyed
by
gusty
winds
and
torrential
rains
on
Monday
(May
17).
The
Goregaon
set
reportedly
was
used
to
replicate
Dubai
and
avert
international
travel
amid
the
pandemic.
The
set
had
been
erected
at
SRPF
Ground
for
the
YRF
film.
The
makers
will
have
to
delay
the
shoot
for
a
few
days
as
the
damage
will
have
to
be
repaired
as
soon
as
the
lockdown
is
lifted.
The
production
work
for
films
has
been
halted
for
the
second
time
due
to
the
pandemic
and
it
is
unclear
how
long
the
lockdown
will
last
during
the
second
wave
of
COVID-19.
