Social distancing goes for a toss during film shoot in Pune University

The Pune University has allowed film shooting inside its campus for the first time since the Covid-19 outbreak started in the city. The entire campus was shut after the lockdown was announced in March month. All hostels were also vacated and students had gone at their native places during the lockdown. After the unlock phases began, limited operations were allowed by the Pune University administration. Now it has given permission for a film shooting inside the campus for the first time since the lockdown happened.

Pune University campus has been used frequently for film shooting during the pre-Covid times. Several production houses had also erected their sets for the recording purposes. But considering the gravity of the situation post-Covid-19 pandemic situation, citizens were surprised that the Pune University has given permission for a film shoot.

Some scenes from the film Nail Polish are being shot in front of the main building of Pune University. A deposit amount of Rs 5 lakh has been taken from the producers of the film. A rent of Rs 25 thousand per hour has been charged to the production house.
