Actor Arjun Rampal was filming for a Marathi project The Battle of Bhima Koregaon in Karjat when the nationwide coronavirus lockdown was announced. The shoot was stopped midway as the cast and crew retreated to their homes. A report on entertainment news site claims that the studio's owner has forgone the rent of the place amid lockdown.
No rent for The Battle of Bhima Koregaon sets
The owner of ND studio, Nitin Desai, has reportedly exempted the rent for his studio, where the sets of the movie The Battle of Bhima Koregaon were built. As per the report, there were three villages and a huge battlefield created in the studios for the filming of the movie. Since the time the lockdown has started, all these have remained unused.
Nitin Desai shared with the entertainment site that he is not the only one who is suffering for losses in these trying times. He said that he cannot expect people to pay rent when the world has come to a standstill. He also appealed to other studios throughout India to follow the same protocol and forgo of the rent as it might be the best thing to do.

Almost every industry present in India have taken a huge fall after the lockdown of the coronavirus pandemic was announced. In the same way, many Bollywood projects and movies came on a standstill. The studios have been shut down and there are no shootings going on. This has led to losses to all those sets that were built and ready, as they remain unused, with no kind of hope as to when the work will kickstart again.
