One of the first entertainment industries to get back on its feet amidst the pandemic has been the television business. And one of the first shows to start shooting has been the crowd favourite, Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah. The show headlined by the Gada family, comprising of Jethalal (Dilip Joshi), Daya (Disha Vakani), Tapu (Raj Anadkat) and Champaklal (Amit Bhatt) was terribly missed during the lockdown. However, the fans were ecstatic when they resumed shooting in July.
While we have already seen a bunch of fresh episodes from the show, Koimoi reached out to Mandar Chandwadkar AKA Aatmaram Tukaram Bhide to know how they are managing to shoot in these crucial times. Chandwadkar revealed that they are happy to shoot and are following the government’s guidelines to the T.
These are the steps they are taking to assure a smooth shooting schedule. “We are able to shoot well because we are taking all the necessary precautions on the set. Every member present has to get his or her temperature checked every day, sanitise well, and maintain social distancing with each other. Additionally, our producer (Asit Kumarr Modi) has made arrangements for some of the productions guys, especially the ones with no vehicles, to stay on the set so they don’t come in contact with anyone at risk,” informs Chandwadkar.
