It's the kick-off of the third schedule of India's most awaited
musicals by Ilaiyaraaja - 'Music School'. Starring Sharman Joshi and Shriya
Saran, the film launches into shoot in Hyderabad. In view of the third wave of
the coronavirus pandemic, the makers of the musical have a deputed a team that
sanitizes the studio, location and vanity vans. The film's team ensures social
distancing and the use of masks on the set. As a norm, anyone new to the set
must undergo an antigen test and RT-CPR tests of the cast and crew are being
done once a week.
The team has a general physician on board in case there is a
medical emergency. Despite the challenges, filmmaker Papa Rao Biyyala is
determined to spare no effort to bring to the audience a rich visual and sonic
extravaganza observing the due precaution. The upcoming Ilaiyaraaja musical is
about two teachers, Mary D’Cruz and Manoj (played by Shriya and Sharman
respectively) who try their best to shake off the influence of an unimaginative
education system over pupils with the culture and refinement of music and
theatre.
Papa Rao Biyyala says, “The second schedule of Music School was
an absolute blast. The entire team enjoyed being in a musical ambience. We
launch into the third schedule by playing off to the energy of the new year. At
the same time, we take the safety of our team very seriously. We make sure that
only those who are absolutely required are present on the set. It's a great
relief that the sanitisation team is extremely thorough and the film's team is
cautious and considerate.”
