The corona virus health scare is wreaking havoc
globally. While enough preventive health measures have been suggested by health
experts, the people across the world are in state of panic but that has
certainly not dampened their survival spirit.
Filmmaker Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri is one such
shining example! The critically-acclaimed filmmaker-author, who is gearing up
to start shooting his highly-anticipated next, 'The Kashmir Files' - an
unreported story of the most tragic and gut-wrenching genocide of Kashmiri
Hindus, is making sure that his team will take precautions to ensure the unit's
safety, before rolling in Delhi next week.
Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri informs, "Keeping in
mind the sensitive situation, I've decided to do a pre-shoot workshop with the
crew to discuss hygiene measures, and precautions that must be followed. There
will be trained health professionals on set, and we will keep a list of
ambulance numbers, as well as names of nearby hospitals, handy. We will also
create awareness about fitness, and the importance of maintaining a healthy
lifestyle", also adding that the team will get an insurance for every crew
member.
"We are getting a general insurance. There's
no specific insurance for corona virus yet. Initially, I panicked, but I choose
to focus on creative health. Human beings must be emotionally strong to be
physically strong. We couldn't delay the shoot, because of the Kashmir
schedule. The central government is promoting tourism in Kashmir, so there will
be more people in the region later which will making shooting difficult,"
says Agnihotri, adding that the unit will divide filming between Kashmir and
Mumbai.
Following the huge critical acclaim of his last
release, 'The Tashkent Files' in April last year, the filmmaker-author is set
to weild the megaphone as the movie goes on floors this summer.
The filmmaker believes 'The Kashmir Files' is a
small step towards letting the world, especially his countrymen, know about the
state of the plight of Kashmiri Hindus.
Featuring Anupam Kher in a pivotal role, 'The
Kashmir Files' is slated to release on the auspicious occasion of India's 73rd
Independence anniversary in 202
