Will child artists be allowed to shoot post lockdown?

MUMBAI: The buzz is that the shooting of television shows will soon commence. The makers and the channels are busy planning out ways to get the shoot rolling.

The guideline that is issued by the officials includes a set of dos and don'ts to follow which includes minimum cast on the sets, the location being sanitized well before and after the shoot.

One of the guidelines also suggests that senior citizens of more than 65 years will not be allowed to move out of their house. Also, the kids are recommended to stay indoors.

Well, the above guideline has created a confusion whether the child artist and senior citizens will be allowed to shoot for the shows or not.
