Hours after the Indian cine bodies announced that all shoots will be suspended from March 19 in light of the current situation, director Sudhir Mishra brought to fore an urgent implication of the decision. The filmmaker, tagging his peers Vikramaditya Motwane, Anubhav Sinha and Anurag Kashyap, highlighted the need to set up a fund for the 3.5 lakh daily wage workers who are part of the Federation and will be directly hit by the impending halt.
When mid-day reached out to Nikkhil Advani yesterday, the director revealed that they had set the ball rolling on the endeavour. "As a production company, we have a group of daily wage technicians who work with us, including the light team and spot boys. We have told our HoDs [heads of departments] to [let their respective teams know] that we will compensate them for their losses." Sinha, who will be following the same practice, shares, "I will lend support to those with whom I have worked till my last film. If every director and producer takes the initiative, we will cover [most of] the work force."
