She revealed, "We are staying in unknown times of hope. Whenever the shoots start, there will be a change in the way we look at the process of production. A new normal where the safety of all is the most important priority will be in place, according to the rule book of the Guild."
"For all new productions, there may be a schedule revamp, whereby indoor locations with the minimum requirement of cast and crew, and production elements will be accomplished first," she further said.
Actress Richa Chadha also wishes that shooting begins all over with proper guidelines taking place.
She says, "I really don't know what the shooting scenario will be post the pandemic but I am hoping with proper guidelines shoots can begin. I believe the Producers Guild has already sent a long set of guidelines saying how they plan to restart shoots slowly especially for television."
Jacqueline Fernandes believes that changes will take place, but slowly.
She mentioned, "Post the lockdown, I'm sure there will be change but it will happen gradually. Things will take time to get back to normal for everyone and not just for the entertainment industry. Till then, we should continue to stay safe at home.
