As we continue to battle this global health calamity COVID - 19, the film and TV production is finally expected to resume operation after a brief shutdown amidst lockdown. Being the world's most prolific film industry, India produces up to 2,000 movies each year and while there's no clear timeframe for it to resume, the Producer's Guild Of India has submitted its safety measures for recommencing on-set shoots to the government this week. Bollywood's celebrated producer Boney Kapoor who can be credited for giving us several cults hits right from 1987 classic Mr. India to Salman Khan starrer Wanted and more is currently gearing up for his return to action.

The pandemic has severely affected Boney Kapoor's three upcoming productions which lead to their shutting down including Maidaan - the $25M budgeted soccer featuring Ajay Devgn, for which his company had built an enormous set that was later dismantled due to the lockdown. Battling the tough times, the producer had to sent his international crew and talent back home. What's heartbreaking here is that even once production starts again, makers will take months to recreate the 16-acre set.
