Not much about the film is revealed. Produced by Bhandarkar Entertainment and P J Motion Pictures, the film will go on floors in January 2021.
As the title itself suggests, India Lockdown appears to be set in the times of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Government of India announced a lockdown in March for a few weeks after the sudden outbreak of Coronavirus. However, the lockdown was extended till June. As of now, the Maharashtra Government has announced a night curfew to contain the spread of the deadly virus. Speaking of Bollywood and lockdown, a number of web series were released with the virus as their central theme.
