Bollywood has seen a massive and unprecedented downfall due to the coronavirus pandemic and it has even affected the daily wage workers. While directors are clearly trying to save their sets which have been standing for five weeks. The makers have already suffered a huge loss and they are trying their best to salvage the wreck. 

Kangana Ranaut starrer Thalaivi, in which she is essaying the role of Jayalalithaa, has reportedly incurred Rs. 5 crores loss so far due to the lockdown.

According to the reports in Bollywood Hungama stated that the 45-day schedule was supposed to kick off on March 10. The makers have constructed the Parliament House at the Ramakrishna Cine Studios in Hyderabad. They were to wrap up the shooting in mid-April followed by the Chennai schedule. 

Shailesh Singh, the producer, reveals that they will have to wrap up the shooting before the monsoon arrives or the elaborate sets will be destroyed. He said that reconstructing it would be an expensive affair.

The report further stated that makers have been worried that the two elaborate sets that were built in Hyderabad and Chennai may get destroyed once it starts raining.

He further said that they had recreated Mount Road at the AVM Studio in Chennai and was supposed to do patchwork shoot there. He revealed that about 40 percent of the film is yet to be filmed!

Shaailesh Singh further said that they were unable to shoot in Hyderabad for a single day amid lockdown but paid the studio already. He states that even if they get a 10-day window, they will wrap up outdoor portions.
