Mumbai: The Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) has written a letter to Maharashtra Chief Minster Uddhav Thackeray, urging the government to allow films and TV shows to restart production in the state.
In April, the Maha government had announced the suspension of all shootings in order to curb the spread of the infection in the state, which was in the middle of the deadly second wave of COVID-19.
Currently, some TV shows and film shoots are happening outside Maharashtra.
In their letter, sent to Thackeray on Monday, the FWICE said the media and entertainment (M&E) sector has been badly hit due to the coronavirus-forced statewide lockdown.

The Federation of Western India Cine Employees has decided to take back the ban imposed on actress Gauahar Khan for flouting COVID-19 rules. The decision comes weeks after the ban was imposed on her. Last month, the FWICE had condemned the actress after an FIR was filed by Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) for flouting quarantine rules on March 15.
The BMC alleged that Gauahar had stepped out for shooting despite testing positive for COVID-19. Upon learning this, the FWICE debarred the actress for two months and issued a non-cooperative directive against her.
Reportedly the FWICE has now decided to let her off with a warning. Reportedly the organisation warned her that if this incident is repeated the ban will be reinstalled and will not be lifted for a long time.
