Bollywood filmmaker Shoojit Sircar predicts that production of children will get postponed as marriages are getting shelved due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

However, netizens disagree with the filmmaker and have offered him reasons why his prediction won’t come true.

The filmmaker tweeted on Thursday: “Between Feb/Mar/Apr 2020 approx. 2.5 million (25 lakhs) Marriages will get postponed.. That means the production of children will also get shelved or postponed.”

Netizens commented on his tweet explaining him why his prediction will not come true.

A user wrote: “The ones forced to stay at home will fill that production gap.”

Another user commented: “Are you sure about that? Last year’s married couples will not waste time.”
