This has resulted in many professionals taking pay cuts as well as few even asked to leave due to the financial crunch. With the country being in Unlock phase 4, now filmmaker, producers and even Producers Guild Of India have supported the appeal made by Multiplex Association of India to the government to reopen the cinema halls. This has resulted in #UnlockCinemaSaveJobs to trend on the micro-blogging site, Twitter.
