TN Government has earlier permitted the small screen content makers to shoot serials under some restrictions, which include not to have more than 20 people in the shooting spot sets.

After requests from the small screen associations, the government has now given permission to shoot with the maximum of 60 people on the sets including actors and technicians.

TN Government also given guidance for the respective teams to follow proper measures to stop spreading COVID-19 like social distancing, and wear masks at the shooting spot, sanitizing etc.

FEFSI (Film Employees Federation of South India) president RK Selvamani told reporters yesterday that, "the government has given permission to shoot serials with 60 people. Since there is some prep-work to be done, the shooting will begin on the 10th of this month."
