Says FWICE’s Ashoke Pandit, “The honorable Chief Minister wanted us to send him guidelines. And we’ve done so on his request. It is important to have clarity on the subject of shooting after the lockdown. It’s the only way we can bring the entertainment industry back on the right track.”

Pandit also dismisses all speculation of Mumbai ‘s television industry relocating its shooting to Hyderabad.

“Where do such speculations come from?” Ashoke Pandit wonders angrily.
