The shooting of all the serials has stopped. Its effect is not only on the earnings but also on the people working in this industry. Especially the support staff, who work on salary or project basis. In a conversation with a media reporter, TV and Web, IFTPC Chairman JD Majithia says that we cannot panic. What will happen when we get scared? Today, the situation is difficult, we do not know what is waiting tomorrow. Some producers have a bank of episodes but some do not. Some will repeat and maybe some fresh content can also be brought.

Repeat telecast starts
Due to the lack of further shows and due to the shooting stops, many television shows have started repeat telecasts from Monday evening. Tarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah, which comes on Sony SAB, have now started showing old shows after giving notice initially. Many more daily shows are adopting this path. Majithia says that this is having a bad effect on television and films but webseries shows can benefit. People are at home due to the closure of the mall, theaters and in this situation it may be possible to see more web series shows. This is a good opportunity for those OTT platforms who were lost in the crowd even after having good content.
