With the World Health Organization declaring Coronavirus (COVID-19) a pandemic, cinema, and television production the world over have been adversely hit, and the thriving Tollywood is no exception.
The Telugu film industries which account for a sizeable chunk of box-office revenues annually, has witnessed the postponing of film releases and shooting, with artistes, filmmakers and technicians ensuring caution over commerce.
Theatres are shut, and films will release only after the situation is calmer. The livelihood of several employees who work for daily wages has been affected badly. The pandemic is also beginning to panic several producers who seem worried about their financial situation if the Coronavirus outbreak extends towards next month.
Irony is that some Tollywood stars are bothering for a peculiar reason. These stars usually like to go out on vacation with their families whenever they get free time. However, they don’t like to sit in home and spend time. They prefer going out for foreign trips, chill out there for few days and comeback with fresh mind.
Now, with travelling restrictions across the globe and it is also inadvisable to go out, they have no option other than spending time with family members in home. This is indeed a very new experience for them as they don’t usually reside in home for these many days.
