Not every serial has bank episodes to telecast, and thus, the production house has decided to shift base from Mumbai to continue the shoot.

As per media reports, it seems that Ekta Kapoor’s serials like Kumkum Bhagya, Kundali Bhagya, Molkki, and Prem Bandhan will shift their shooting base to Goa, though there is no confirmation about the same.

On the other hand, Bawara Dil, Barrister Babu, and Shakti — Astitva Ke Ehsaas Ki will use their bank stories and have not yet decided to shift base for shooting.

The television *industry is finding it difficult to shoot episodes, but production houses are coming up with ideas to continue.
