Chennai: Considering today’s situation of corona outbreak, it is impossible to grant permission to shoot for films, said State Information and Publicity Minister Kadambur Raju today.
Speaking to reporters in Kovilpatti, the Minister said, “small screen serials can be shot within a small studio and hence they can be allowed to go ahead. But cinema shoots demands more people and outdoor locations. Hence, at this juncture, it is difficult to allow film shoots”.
A few days ago, a group of filmmakers called on Chief Minister Edappadi K Palaniswami and submitted a memorandum seeking to allow shoots and re-open theatres.
