Those hours of late working in the cafe with my writer, as we did not have an office place have finally paid off. By March 2020, the fourth draft of the script was ready. We sent it to our close friends, relatives, co-workers and the feedback we received was satisfactory. The crew was lined up to finish the shoot before the monsoon ensued.
Our production team had pulled their socks up to get into action, then something happened that made everyone go to a standstill. That historic voice of P.M Narendra Modi “Aaj raat 12 baje se, pure desh mein sampoorn lockdown hone jaa raha hain” shocked my team. The suddenness of this move struck hard to us as we were unprepared. With time we came to terms with it. COVID-19 lockdown had affected our team directly in two ways.
First of all, we had to temporarily postpone the shooting of the film. Secondly, we got more time to look at our script in profundity.
P.S: How did your team manage to reschedule all the shoots during the lockdown?
