Madhur Bhandarkar set to tell lockdown tales

National award-winning director Madhur Bhandarkar is set to direct a film based on the true events during the Covid-19 period. Titled 'India Lockdown', the film will follow four parallel stories and the repercussions of the pandemic on Indians.

The movie stars Shweta Basu Prasad, Aahana Kumra, Prateik Babbar, Sai Tamhankar and Prakash Belawadi in key roles. It will be released on ZEE5.

It is written by Amit Joshi and Aradhana Sah with Madhur Bhandarkar. The four parallel stories explored are that of a father-daughter duo who are stuck in different cities during a crucial high point in the daughter's life; a sex worker and the hardships she goes through in her personal and professional life due to the lockdown; a migrant worker, who barely manages to provide bread and butter for his family; and an airhostess, who for the first time has some downtime compelling her to introspect.

The film will be produced by Dr. Jayantilal Gada of PEN Studios, Madhur Bhandarkar's Bhandarkar Entertainment and Pranav Jain's P J Motions Pictures.

Madhur Bhandarkar's earlier films like 'Chandni Bar', 'Page 3', and 'Fashion' are also inspired by true events. Click the Movie button below for more info:
