After
a
brief
hiatus
following
the
nationwide
lockdown
in
India
owing
to
the
COVID-19
situation,
Sony
Pictures
Networks
India
(SPN)
has
obtained
all
relevant
government
permissions
to
resume
production
for
its
television,
film
and
OTT
businesses
in
India.
The
network
is
working
closely
with
its
production
partners
to
ensure
shoots
resume
in
a
controlled
environment
with
strict
compliance
to
all
necessary
government
rules,
regulations
and
safety
protocols.
At
SPN,
health,
hygiene
and
sanitisation
are
taken
very
seriously,
and
the
network
is
doing
all
that
it
can
to
ensure
the
safety
of
its
cast,
crew
and
production
partners.
Other
than
cast
and
crew
members,
visitors
will
not
be
allowed
on
the
sets.
Moreover,
SPN
is
actively
extending
its
support
to
the
Indian
Film
and
TV
Producers
Council
(IFTPC)
in
containing
and
minimizing
the
adverse
impact
of
the
pandemic
on
our
industry.
Firmly
determined
to
extend
full
support
to
the
fraternity
in
these
difficult
times,
the
network
has
undertaken
the
following
specific
initiatives:
Effective
July
2020
until
December
2020,
full
payments
of
the
cast
and
crew
will
be
released
within
a
30-day
time
frame
100
per
cent
of
the
proposed
insurance
cost
for
the
cast
and
crew
will
be
borne
by
SPN
during
the
COVID
pandemic.
Producers
working
with
SPN,
have
been
asked
to
strictly
comply
with
all
guidelines
issued
by
the
government
and
local
authorities
and
ensure
that
they
are
not
flouted
in
any
manner
whatsoever.
