Zee TV to telecast Zee5, ALT Balaji series from March 25 amid coronavirus

Zee5 and ALT Balaji series to be telecasted on Zee TV from March 25 due to deadly coronavirus, the shooting of television serials were stopped from March 19 itself.

Cine And TV Artistes' Association (CINTAA) had barred the people to conduct shoots. This is why the serials were not shot and do not have enough bank of episodes as well. Hence, Zee TV will not show its regular serials but instead air series of Zee5 and ALT Balaji.
