The heavy downpours that the city of Hyderabad has been witnessing since the last few days are being welcomed by almost everyone. The rains have brought a welcome respite from the heat and the thirst of the land is being quenched.

But the rains are also playing spoilsport for a number of film units, which have erected sets in outdoor locations. The heavy downpours have forced units to either cancel shoots or reorganize schedules to shoot indoor scenes first.

In some instances, sets were damaged and extensive repair work had to be done. But despite all these inconveniences, no one is grudging the rains for without the all important food and water, nothing survives.
