The worsening LPG shortage has started impacting food supply on film locations in the Malayalam film industry.
As per the estimates by the Kerala Film Producers’ Association (KFPA), the shooting of nearly 18 movies is under way. “We have stock for two days more. But the situation will turn difficult if the situation persists,’ said B. Rakesh, president of the KFPA.

He said that the industry may be hit badly if cooking gas cylinders are not made available soon. “The total loss estimated for the producers of the 18 movies is around ₹5 crore, once we are forced to cancel the shooting in view of the crisis. It is not easy to re-organise the entire crew and other logistics, once we have to break the shooting process midway,” he said.
