Due to the closure of all the theaters in Maharashtra including Mumbai, the business of Hindi films is being affected badly and due to this the release dates of all the big films have also started slipping ahead. Mumbai-based filmmakers and distributors met Shiv Sena’s prominent leader Sanjay Raut on Thursday in this regard, demanding that theaters be opened in Maharashtra at the earliest. Raut made every effort to get immediate help from the film industry and said that he will definitely find some solution soon.
Despite the Corona period, the Indian entertainment world did a business of more than 70 billion rupees according to an estimate last year, although the major contribution in this was directly from films and web series released on OTT.
