Filmmakers and actors are taking a big sigh of relief, as recently, the Maharashtra government allowed shoots across the state to resume, irrespective of the format. Reportedly, a list of guidelines, too, was issued, which includes shooting only in non-containment zones. In an interview, the chief advisor of Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE), Ashoke Pandit, mentioned that there are two guidelines which might not be possible to be followed — not allowing people above the age of 65 on set, and having an ambulance and doctor on every set.
