IndiGo, India's largest airline, is facing severe disruptions in its flight services due to operational lapses, resulting in hundreds of flight cancellations over the last four days. This has had a significant impact on the Indian film industry, particularly Tollywood, with shootings being halted mid-way due to flight cancellations.
Actors from various film industries, including Tollywood, are struggling to reach their shooting locations in other cities. Producers who had planned combination dates for key scenes are shocked by the sudden cancellation of IndiGo flights, and main artists are unable to reach Hyderabad as per their schedules. The technical and staff issues plating IndiGo flights are not only affecting passengers but also the finances of the big-budget Tollywood film industry.
The situation is causing significant disruptions to film production, with producers facing huge losses due to the halt in shootings. The problem is expected to be resolved in the next couple of days, but the impact on the film industry is already substantial.
The IndiGo flight cancellations are a major blow to the Tollywood industry, which relies heavily on timely shooting schedules. With the festive season approaching, the industry was gearing up for a busy period, but the disruptions are putting a spanner in the works. Hopefully, the situation will return to normal soon, and film production can resume as scheduled.
