SURAT: With Maharashtra still being under strict Covid-19 restrictions, the Mumbai-based television industry was forced into the pack-up mode. But the watering hole of Gujarat has come to the rescue of the industry. Daman has now established itself as a preferred location for shooting TV serials.
Currently, shooting of many shows are being held at resorts in the Union Territory. The arrival of the actors and the shooting crew has also provided a major relief to Daman’s tourism industry which was reeling under the lockdown since March 2020.
The tourism industry got a major boost as shootings of over 30 TV series were held at various resorts in Daman. Shootings for some serials were held over a week while few others lasted for over three months. Not only Daman but neighbouring Umargam in Valsad and Silvassa too got business.
