Top Tollywood stars who pressed for permissions for film shoots meeting Telangana CM KCR and AP CM Jagan Mohan Reddy are now surprisingly remaining silent though the governments gave them the required permissions. The makers are not daring to come out and resume shootings. Some already gave signals that they cannot come out and only few low budget filmmakers and actors are getting ready to resume shooting. But till now no activity is seen except for the start of the post production.
Sources say most of the stars are keen to wait till August to resume shooting as there are no signs of when theatres will open and even if they open, whether people will come to theatres. Apart from it corona cases are increasing every day. So majority in Tollywood is keen to wait for some more time before they take the risk. This is resulting in the film shoots getting postponed.
Sometime back reports came that RRR and Acharya regular shoots will start soon and other filmmakers will follow the suit. However, this did not happen due to coronavirus increase and tough lockdown norms and troubles involved in it. The projects which are yet to start the regular shoot are getting delayed even more though few heroes are keen to start. But as actors and technicians should come from other states, makers are finding it difficult to make arrangements for their stay in hotels. So even the makers are feeling that they have to wait for some more time.
Few stars are of the opinion that irrespective of the situation of coronavirus, they have to start shooting from August. So the makers are making arrangements to start shootings from Aug-Sep. Producers feel that even if they have to start shoots from Aug-Sep, they have to start preparations from now, and considering the situation at present, their burden increases even more.
Plans are on to resume the shoots of Pawan Kalyan's Vakeel Saab, NTR-Ram Charan's RRR, Chiranjeevi's Acharya, Nagarjuna's Wild Dog, Allu Arjun's Pushpa. These films may go to sets any time but film shoots may be in full swing only from August.
