Yami talks about film industry woes

Actress Yami Gautam says she doesn't know when film shoots will resume because even after the lockdown is lifted, it doesn't look like COVID-19 will be contained.

How does she see the future of the entertainment industry post-pandemic and in what ways will the industry change? "Budgets are going to be reworked.

Already the proposed films that most of us were to be part of, are looking at reworked budgets and mediums, with theatres being shut and with no idea when they'll open. Of course, the mid-budget films have an opportunity to opt for digital platforms," Yami told IANS in an exclusive chat.

She says she is only being offered work that is set for the web space. "Films are coming my way with the proposal that it's for the digital platform. This shift is already happening. We don't know when we're going to resume shooting because even after the lockdown is lifted, it doesn't look like the coronavirus will be contained," she said.
