Shakti’s Sets To Be Temporarily Shifted To Hyderabad’s Ramoji Studios? Actress Kamya Punjabi Clears Air

Shakti: Astitva Ke Ehsaas Ki makers are keen to resume the shoot of their show as soon as the lockdown is over. But Mumbai being the most affected city in India, it is going to be difficult to be able to have shoots like before! Reports had been doing the rounds that the amkers are planning to shift their base and set up temporary set in Hyderabad’s Ramoji Studio. Now, actress Kamya Punjabi, who is a part of Shakti, has herself cleared the air and revealed the truth.

Kamya has denied the reports and said that she is not aware of any such development and also added that their sets are in an orange zone. Talking to TOI, she said, “Right now the focus is to start the shooting and different ideas are being explored but nothing has been communicated to us. We are not informed about flying to Ramoji Rao Studio in Hyderabad. I don't think we need to move out of the city, because where we shoot Ramdev Studio is in an orange zone, so if we have to start the shoot we can do there as well. Because it is on the highway and away from residential area. This is a very big decision and taking actors from Mumbai to Hyderabad is also a huge task. It's not that easy. I am sure the channel and Production houses will take decisions which are best and right for everyone. If they feel Hyderabad is safe for everyone, they will do it. I have my complete faith and support with them and in whatever they decide." 

It is true that taking the entire cast and crew to Hyderabad will be a task for the makers. Moreover, with the makers looking at cutting down at production budget by as much as 30%, this seems to be an idea that would only shoot up the costs. What do you think of the idea?
