Production incentives for foreign films that shoot in India have been teased by government since Cannes last year. And again at the Film Bazaar last November. Now their introduction is being held up by the coronavirus and the widespread disruption to the film industry it has caused.

Producers of the new James Bond movie have threatened to shift filming from India to South Africa if permission to shoot a show-stopping train stunt is refused.
Bosses at Take One Productions, who are responsible for the location shoot, want to block off a section of railroad in Ahmadabad and Goa for an ambitious sequence featuring Daniel Craig and his stunt double.
However, according to The Times of India, they are becoming frustrated at officials' slowness in granting permission and are threatening to move the shoot to South Africa instead.
