The sets stand bare
Mumbai bounces back to life but Film City bears a forlorn look
Sapana Patil
In not less than 48 hours of the worst floods Mumbai has ever faced, Mumbaikars have gotten back to action. The scene at Film City was however, far from similar. On the third consecutive day the aftermath is a deserted and desolate look with hardly any actors reporting to work.
The unit people maintained, "The actors must have reached their homes so late. How will they come to work? There is no electricity here since four days. So even if they come how will they shoot?"
On asking the Studio Manager Vithal Rathod he replied, "We have two connections here of which one is not working. The cables are still submerged in water. Repairs will take time and normalcy will be restored in 4-5days. Until then we will have to do with one power connection." Electricity to Film City is supplied by MSEB.
Chaitanya Choudhary and Shabir Ahluwalia who play Akshat and Rishi respectively congratulated each other when they were told that they were the only people shooting in Film City. Shabir jokingly remarked that they deserve an award for this!
*this shows that they havnt started shooting..i hope they dont air same episode again*
